Staff iOS Engineer, Back Office App

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, 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.
The Role
From the cityscapes of London, to the food trucks of Los Angeles, no matter where you go, the Back Office app will always keep a Square seller connected to their business.
The Back Office Team is on a mission to deliver a single unified super app, empowering owners, managers, and busy team members with the tools they need to operate their business, all in one app. Today, Square's ecosystem consists of several independent apps, and our team is rethinking that ecosystem, and bringing them all into one super app experience for our sellers.
Our team is laser focused on delivering key business metrics, actionable notifications that both sellers and their team members can act on, and governing the platform that several other teams around Square rely on to deliver features that our sellers need to manage their business.
As a member of the iOS team, you'll have an outsized impact on the platform that several other teams build upon, and you'll have a front row seat to delivering features that influence our seller's decisions every day.
