The Role

Company Description
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.
Job Description
Payment Onboarding Team enables sellers to easily join Square's financial ecosystem and start taking payments, and they rely on our software to guide them through verifying their identity and business information. We also play a critical part in ensuring more people can use Square's services by expanding our onboarding of sellers in new countries, business types, and payment methods. We are looking for a Senior backend engineer to help build scalable solutions that helps sellers verify their identity and business to be able to take payments.

  • Build high volume, highly available services that support excellent product experiences and are crucial to the Square onboarding process around the world
  • Partner with other engineers across Square and Trusted Identity, product managers, designers and data scientists to deliver quality features for our sellers.
  • Be accountable for the feature delivery timeline with minimal to no support.
  • Participate in system design, PR reviews and continuous improvements on the technical debts
  • Be curious about the payment onboarding space, attention to detail in customer use cases

  • BS Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience; candidates in this role typically have 3+ years of experience
  • Programming depth with one or more of Ruby, Java, or Go
  • Ability to participate and define system architecture
  • Great communication skills and enthusiasm for working cross-functionally
