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 a software engineer on Square Capital, you will be responsible for designing, building, and owning the services and infrastructure that power our products. You will build beautiful web applications and design highly available services that form complex distributed systems. If you love delivering beautiful software that improves the lives of millions of consumers and business owners, we want to work with you!

Qualifications

You will:

  • Work closely with product and design partners, and Square leadership, to design and build new cutting-edge financial services products

  • Massively scale our existing lending platform, from the datastores to the distributed coordination mechanisms depending on them.

  • Implement sophisticated credit underwriting models that integrate the best third-party sources with Square’s proprietary transaction data.

  • Build systems that collect and maintain customers’ sensitive data, while holding Square to the highest standards for security and compliance.

  • Design fault tolerant systems so the team can be brave and move fast, without ever negatively impacting our customers.

You have:

  • Interest in working full-stack, from optimizing database transactions to building distributed systems and frontend web applications.

  • Passion for building products that are beautiful outside and inside – from their user experience to their robust and elegant design.

  • Strong software development skills and computer science fundamentals.
