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
The Customer Foundations Mobile team's mission is to help sellers know and connect with their customers by (1) building a mobile platform that can be leveraged by both Square developers and external developers to enable customer-centric features and (2) building product experiences that leverage this platform to enable useful seller features that can be used across different Square apps.
Our product suite includes the Customers Applet-the primary interface in the Point of Sale apps to allow sellers to search, view, and manage their customers-as well as integrations across multiple apps (e.g. Point of Sale, Restaurants, Retail, Appointments, etc.) to support customer experiences such as being able to add a customer to a cart, view relevant and context-specific customer info, or associating an appointment to a customer.

  • Design and build solutions that enable merchants to better understand and serve their customers
  • Drive technical vision and excellence for the team of engineers & multiple stakeholders
  • Serve as a leader upleveling the technical and design understanding of the team
  • Collaborate and provide guidance on multiple projects at any given time
  • Identify risks and devise solutions to performance challenges
  • Build for the future by clearly communicating the cost-benefit of a given solution and advocating for the best path forward
