Company Description

Since we first opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely - and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take a payment 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, run a busy kitchen, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. And 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 all in one place.

Today, we're a partner to sellers of all sizes - large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex commerce operations, sellers just starting out, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers scale, so do our solutions. We all grow together.

There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We're building a business that is big, meaningful, and lasting. And we are helping sellers around the world do the same.



The Regional Methods team enables Square to move money globally by building highly reliable channels to regional payment networks and acquirers. As a Software Engineer, you will build features and applications that power Square's global expansion.

• Work on a team that has its hand in projects impacting payments around the globe.
• Dive into the specifications and systems of the incumbent financial world and find ways to abstract them into consistent, coherent features for Square's modern payments platform.
• Work with talented teams across Square to translate what's possible into remarkable experiences for our sellers and their customers.
• Own features and integrations throughout their lifecycle, from initial design to production payments.
• Work with the full lifecycle of payments including regional payment methods.
• Build systems that are maintainable and well-tested.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the willingness to collaborate with both a local team and counterparts in remote offices.
• Own systems that move billions of dollars, pounds and yen every week.

Qualifications

You have:

• An innate curiosity about how money moves, and the desire to become an expert in financial systems.
• A willingness to lean into understanding complex systems and how they could be better.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the willingness to collaborate with both a local team and counterparts in remote offices.
• 5+ years of industry experience.

Technologies we use and teach:

• Java
