Senior Android Engineer, Merchandising

  • 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

The IFM Merchandising team lives at the intersection of Platform and Product. Our team is responsible for a key primitive in the Square ecosystem: items. In practice, this means our team also owns seller-facing interfaces that enable millions of sellers to efficiently manage their item catalogs, the public items API and platform that backs those features.

In today’s world, sellers expect to be able to sell their products wherever their buyers are looking. In some cases, this just means selling both in-person and online. But increasingly, there are further opportunities that come from integrating with channels like Google, Tiktok, Instagram, etc. To help sellers do this effectively, Square has a role to play in creating a seamless source of truth that can be easily exposed to all of these sales channels.

We are seeking a talented Android Engineer to join the IFM Merchandising mobile team, which includes both iOS and Android engineers. 

You will:

  • Plan and execute cross-functional projects to deliver remarkable solutions that improve seller experience

  • Extend and maintain core item related user experiences on our Point Of Sale applications

  • Collaborate with multiple stakeholders across the company, including product, design, and other engineering teams

  • Mentor other engineers through design reviews and pair programming

Technologies we use and teach:

  • Kotlin (and Java) for development, leveraging Square’s modern open source library, Workflow

  • Compose, LeakCanary, RXJava, Dagger, Mortar, OkHTTP and more

Qualifications

You have:

  • 7+ years of Android development experience and an excellent command of engineering fundamentals

  • Proficiency in Kotlin or Java for development

  • Ability to breakdown complex projects into components or milestones that other engineers can easily pick up

  • Demonstrated collaboration with co-workers on cross-functional teams and in other locations

  • A commitment to continuous improvement (yourself, your teammates, your software)
