Client Engineering Manager, Trusted Identity

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.

To solve this problem, we expanded into software and built integrated solutions to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, 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

Square’s Payment Platform is an open, global financial services platform for developers who serve our merchants. It provides the necessary components to manage identity, process payments across multiple channels, hold and transfer funds, and provide accounting, reconciliation, and reporting in a secure and compliant way.   

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Trusted Identity platform, leading a team that helps merchants get access to payment processing through Square. We’re responsible for ensuring that we know who we’re doing business with, and that we are able to keep up to date with our sellers as their businesses change and grow. Customers rely on this platform to keep track of the sensitive details of their business, to manage who can make changes, and to make it painless to stay within the bounds of the law regardless of how their business evolves.

• Foster long-term thinking and innovation in a complex space, and promote your organization to support our business
• Collaborate with Product Management, senior leadership, and your peers to develop the strategy for your team, reporting into the Director of Trusted Identity Engineering
• Hire and develop your engineers, helping them learn and achieve their own goals while holding them - and yourself - to high engineering standards
• Develop efficient processes, ensuring the engineering team is operating with high velocity, ownership, and accountability

• 8+ years of relevant frontend web or mobile design experience
• 3+ years of experience as a Software Engineering Manager
