Job Description

In 2020, the Conversations team introduced Square Messages, a messaging platform for merchants to manage conversations with their customers across multiple channels (SMS, email, FB, etc.). Messages is also home to Square Assistant -- a virtual assistant to help merchants serve their customers 24/7. For 2021 and beyond, Messages is coming to Android. Messages for Android will feature integrations with the larger Square ecosystem: Appointments, Feedback, Invoices, and eventually a customizable virtual business phone. The team itself was created in mid-2019 with the acquisition of Eloquent Labs.

We're looking for engineers to build our Android Square Messages product. 

You will...

• Play a key role in implementing a new messaging product within Square.
• Build a new feature for Square-aware, real-time messaging.
• Partner with AI, backend, web, and iOS engineers to ship features.
• Work cross collaboratively with product managers and designers to define and establish product scope and design.
• Ship cutting-edge AI to businesses that traditionally haven’t had access to it.

Qualifications

You'll need to...

• Be proficient in Kotlin and/or Java for development (we use both).
• Enjoy working on mobile apps at all levels – from networking up to user interfaces and whatever’s in between.
• Be eager to share your ideas, and openness to those of others.
• Have passion for product development and seeing results.
• Respond to customer feedback to improve our products.
