Android Engineer, Terminal API

  • Full-time

Company Description

Since we first opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely – and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take a payment and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together. So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, run a busy kitchen, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. And across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow all in one place.

Today, we’re a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex commerce operations, sellers just starting out, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers scale, so do our solutions. We all grow together.

There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a business that is big, meaningful, and lasting. And we are helping sellers around the world do the same.

Job Description

Square Terminal API allows developers to connect Square Terminal to their custom point of sale (POS) systems, no matter which platforms or operating systems they’re developed on. With Terminal API, sellers can benefit from Square’s hardware devices and payments offering, while continuing to use the point-of-sale system that best meets their needs. For developers, Terminal API helps manage the complexities of payment processing, including security and compliance, so that developers can focus on building a world-class product. This opens up millions of opportunities to onboard small to medium-sized businesses to the Square ecosystem.

As an Android engineer, you will have ownership over the client application embedded in the Square Terminal. You will work with Backend as well as fellow Android engineers to develop new features and improve on existing experiences, and in the process, contribute to one of our most important projects.

Qualifications

You’ll need to…

  • Be proficient in Java and/or Kotlin for development (we use both).

  • Enjoy working on mobile apps at all levels – from networking up to user interfaces and whatever’s in between.

  • Build high availability and highly resilient systems which can accept and report payments no matter the network or device conditions.

  • Collaborate with Android and Server engineers to ship features.

  • Work with product managers and designers to refine and define product scope and design.

  • Respond to customer feedback to improve our products.
