Mobile Engineering Manager - Square Retail

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.
Job Description
From the cozy local wine store to the trendy sneaker pop-up, the Retail team at Square is finding new ways to equip retail sellers and their staff with the tools they need to succeed. Our team focuses on helping retailers meet their customers wherever they are. We're addressing the desire for clean and minimalist store counters with intuitive yet sophisticated iOS, Android, and Web-based software that integrates seamlessly with our sleek hardware, all backed by highly reliable services.
We are seeking a Mobile Engineering Manager to lead the Retail Orders team. This team focuses on complex order management scenarios where a buyer and seller engage over a period of time. Think about features like Returns & Exchanges, cross-location fulfillment, buy online-pick up in store, and many others. The mission of the squad is to let retailers create and manage orders from any channel, through flexible fulfillment and payment capabilities.
The ideal candidate will have experience leading a team of senior iOS and Android engineers and collaborating with product managers, designers, and other engineering managers to create a cohesive mobile roadmap. The Orders squad sits at the intersection of product and platform work. You'll work with platform teams to unblock initiatives and build features directly on Square's mobile points of sale.
The engineering team is composed of iOS and Android engineers. Our projects leverage design-driven decisions to deliver features across Square's mobile applications. We also talk directly to existing and prospective merchants about their needs and pain to identify opportunities to improve their experience.
