Engineering Manager, Square Capital

  • Full-time

Company Description

We started with a simple idea - that everyone should be able to accept credit cards - and we've been rethinking buying and selling ever since. For sellers we're creating one cohesive service to run your entire business, from a register in your pocket to analytics on your laptop. For buyers we're making it faster to order from the businesses you love and more fun to pay your friends back. Buying and selling sound like simple things - and they should be. Somewhere along the way they got complicated. We're working hard to make commerce easy for everyone.

Job Description

Square’s rapidly growing small business financing product, Square Capital, has revolutionized the way businesses obtain the capital needed to accomplish their goals. Unlike traditional financing products, Square Capital offers are extended to pre-qualified sellers with no application process, funds are deposited as soon as the next business day, and repayment happens as a fixed percentage of daily card sales. Since the product launched in 2014, Square Capital has already extended more than $400 million to tens of thousands of Square sellers - and we’re just getting started.

As an engineering manager on Square Capital, you will lead a world-class team of engineers responsible for designing, building, and owning the services and infrastructure that power our products. We build beautiful web applications and design highly available services that form complex distributed systems. If you have a passion for the intersection between finance and technology, and you enjoy the challenge of leading and mentoring engineers, then we want to work with you!

You will:

  • Lead a world-class team of engineers, by hiring exceptional talent, coaching and developing your team, cultivating pragmatic engineering decision-making, and leveraging your technical expertise to constantly raise the bar

  • Lead and participate in critical technical, design, and product discussions with leaders across our product, operations, and investor teams
  • Own the success of your team's projects and deliver quantifiable results in a timely manner

You have:

  • BA/BS degree or equivalent practical, working experience (7+ years preferred)
