About The Position
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 Restaurants today operate in an increasingly dynamic landscape, and we are building a modern product ecosystem to support them. The Food & Beverage team at Square empowers restaurants of all kinds to start, run, and grow their businesses through advanced workflows, specialized products, actionable insights, and deep integration within the broader Square ecosystem. In everything we build, we prioritize efficiency, automation, and reliability — critical in a fast-paced environment where great hospitality depends on technology that simply works. As the Mobile Engineering Manager for POS Operations, you will lead a team of senior mobile engineers responsible for maintaining and evolving the feature set that powers Square for Restaurants. You will partner closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineering leaders to shape and deliver a cohesive, high-impact roadmap that translates complex restaurant needs into reliable, high-quality seller experiences.
