Software Engineer, Accounts Security

Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a smartphone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Terminal, Square Appointments, Square Online Store, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.

As an engineer on the Accounts Security team within our CIAM (Customer Identity and Access Management) group, you will work on expanding support for account creation and login protections.  This will include implementing and deploying modern account security protections (eg. 2FA, device validation, botnet detection) to ensure account security.  You will work closely with our risk and security teams to share security signals, collaborate on account security projects, and respond to security incidents.  You will help to build and maintain highly reliable, high QPSservices to support these efforts. You will work with other engineers in our Seller organization.

You will:

• Leverage your domain expertise in the realm of account security to elevate account security at Square.

You have:

• You have at least 2 years experience with account security as an engineer

• Experience with incident response, including disaster recovery

• Eagerness to share your own ideas, and openness to those of others.
