Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments 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, offer buy now, pay later functionality through Afterpay, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. 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 in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.

Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

Our Head of Engineering for Ecom will be passionate about helping our sellers have the best online experience possible and drawn to Square's purpose of economic empowerment, and their role in helping understand and address their struggles and needs.

In this role, you would lead 80+ engineers along with their engineering leadership in  building Square Online, which help our sellers across all verticals grow their online presence. In addition, you will collaborate with other Engineering peers responsible for delivering a seamless multi-product experience. You will also work alongside Square’s leadership team to support and shape Square’s platform-powered ecosystem strategy.

You Will:

• Inspire and drive our commitment to empower sellers for greater success by crafting innovative and remarkable product solutions 
• Structure and run the team like a well oiled machine; scale our processes, and systems
• Foster a collaborative environment that values diverse perspectives, encouraging the sharing of ideas while maintaining a strong, well-informed point of view.

• Influence business strategy and product vision as part of the Ecommerce leadership team
• Cultivate an inclusive team culture focused on customer empathy, ownership, and integrity
• Operate a high performing organization within a large global enterprise

• Operator mindset: you have experience creating and implementing systems and processes to scale and support Engineering teams with a focus on execution and operational excellence
• Expertise and demonstrated experience operating, or related experience desired in the B2B2C space.
• People manager: people magnet, team and culture creator
