Job 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, 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

The Web organization delivers compelling experiences via browser to millions of businesses using Square today, and millions more considering it. Managing a business and selling online can be complex, and we’ve committed to tackling that complexity on behalf of our sellers, to give time back.

At Square, the Food and Beverage team delivers innovative solutions to help restaurants and food businesses of all types and sizes succeed. Managing a restaurant can be challenging, and we’re dedicated to simplifying that complexity to give time back to our sellers.

From the cozy corner café to the growing multi-location restaurant chain, Square empowers Food and Beverage sellers with the tools they need to streamline operations, manage staff, and serve their customers. Our team is focused on equipping food businesses to thrive whether they are serving in-house, offering online orders, or expanding to delivery platforms. We offer intuitive, cross-platform software solutions—seamlessly integrated with our hardware and backed by reliable services—so sellers can focus on what they do best.

We are looking for a product-focused frontend software engineer to join our Food and Beverage Web team. You’ll work cross-platform with Mobile and Backend engineering teams to design, build, and ship features across our Point of Sale clients on iOS and Android and our seller-facing tools on the web. You’ll collaborate closely with Product and Design to build features that simplify complex workflows, helping sellers save time, reduce stress, and focus on delivering great food and service.

  • Collaborate closely with engineers, designers, and product managers to design, build, and iterate on world-class product experiences, defining product scope and design
  • Hold yourself, and your teammates accountable to the standards of engineering and ethics that enables Square to safely move billions of dollars in payments and allow our customers to trust us with their sensitive data

You Have

  • 3+ years of industry experience with a BS Degree in Computer Science or equivalent

  • Great communication skills and an ability to work cross-functionally
