The Team
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, including Square Loans, Square Checking, Square Savings, Square Debit Card, Square Credit Card, and now Square Line of Credit.
Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes - large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as sellers 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
Better supporting franchise and multi-entity businesses is a key part of Square's plans to move upmarket. To solve this need, Square has acquired GoParrot in May 2022, an all-in-one solution that allows franchisors to manage their franchisees with centralized reporting, loyalty and gift card orchestration, and menu management. This now makes up the Franchise Suite organization. It's an exciting time to join this organization as we are working to integrate the GoParrot solution more seamlessly into the Square ecosystem and expand our customer base beyond the food and drink industries!
We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to partner with the Franchise Suite's 30+ engineering team in articulating and leading the execution of the Franchise Suite multi-year technical strategy. In this role you will establish operation principles and a culture of engineering excellence, while engaging with partner teams across the company in service of our team and organizational objectives.
Note: Most of the engineering team is located in Eastern Europe (Moldova) and ability to work Eastern Standard Time will be required.
You Will

  • Identify technical and architectural end states for the product, and influence/evolve the code base in those directions.
  • Drive impact through technical leadership and mentorship across the team.
  • Refactor and uplift existing systems and build new services, with a strong focus on reliability, scalability and performance
  • Creatively solve challenging technical problems at scale
  • Partner closely with engineering managers, product managers, product engineers, and business leads to define our roadmap.


You Have

  • 8+ years experience building and operating quality software
  • Tactical and strategic leadership experience on medium/large-scale migration projects (1+ years)
  • Technical initiative and leadership on previous projects
  • Desire to find flaws in a system with many moving parts and take whatever steps are necessary to fix them
  • Strong communication skills


Technologies We Use and Teach

  • Backend - NodeJS with NestJS and Typescript, Java
  • Fullstack - React web for dashboard, React native for native mobile app and Unit testing mocking
  • Usage of MongoDB, Redis and RabbitMQ

What We Do

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.

Why Work With Us

We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed, and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.
