Software Engineering Manager - Fulfillment Foundations

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. 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.
The Role
Square's purpose is economic empowerment. Since our beginning, we have been helping sellers start and manage their own businesses. The Orders Platform team at Square plays a crucial role in this mission by being the core system of record for sales. This team ensures that every order is accurately recorded, tracked, and fulfilled, providing a seamless experience for both sellers and buyers.
The Fulfillment Foundations team is a key part of the Orders Platform. Our mission is to build and maintain the robust and scalable backend infrastructure that powers order fulfillment for all of Square's products. We ensure that orders are processed efficiently and accurately, enabling sellers to deliver on their promises to customers.
We're looking for a resourceful and curious Engineering Manager for Square's iOS Checkout team. The iOS Checkout team and its partner Android team together provide Sellers large and small around the world with a simple, seamless checkout experience that works both on and offline. Working closely with your Product and Design partners, you will encourage and inspire a strongly collaborative team of engineers to directly design, build, and roll out new checkout capabilities across the Square ecosystem. You will also partner closely with application development teams to prioritize, review, co-develop, and integrate new functionality into the checkout experience.

• Lead the development of APIs that enable seamless integration with other Square services.
