Company Description

Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.

Job Description

Much in the same way that Square revolutionized payments, Square Payroll is radically altering how employees get paid and businesses manage their finances. Our mission is to make running a business simple and personal by applying automation and an outstanding user-experience.

Our small collaborative team has already built many foundational features and are now focused on improving and experimenting beyond a traditional payroll product. We want to transform the lives of people that make their living through our platform. We're a growing part of the Square ecosystem and are using our position to build products and features that are beyond the capabilities of our competitors.

You are a product-minded, customer-focused, full-stack engineer who can help take world-changing ideas from prototype to launch.

You Will:

  • Champion the needs of Square Payroll's small-business employer and employee customer base, through customer empathy, iteration, and service ownership
  • Write clean, testable, peer-reviewed code
  • Build the development and live operation of an increasingly distributed architecture
  • Revitalize services and architectures which have outlasted their original implementations, through refactoring, migration, and scale-ready, distributed architectural design

Qualifications

 

You Have:

  • A curious, passionate, growth-oriented mindset
  • A desire to teach and learn from the engineers around you
  • Contributed to impactful engineering projects at non-trivial scale
  • Experience working with Ruby on Rails
  • Familiarity with a major front-end framework
  • BA/BS degree and 3+ years of equivalent industry experience
