Apply to join the Channels & Fulfillment team at Square. We are helping many traditionally in-person sellers succeed with moving parts of their businesses online. The two forms this is taking right now:

- Make it ridiculously easy to list your products across many channels/marketplaces (e.g. have your product start appearing in the Google Shopping search tab)

- Expand Square's common fulfillment APIs to simplify the "behind the scenes" operational part of what happens after they receive orders and need to execute on these contracts

We're already seeing a lot of success, and it's been really rewarding to help these businesses. This is a massive project, and most of work is in a new Go / Golang codebase hosted with the help of Redis, Kubernetes, and AWS.

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 mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, 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.

Many teams are hiring at Square, but I am the hiring manager for the Channels and Fulfillment team. Note that the job post says "Canada" but we're open to folks in both Canada and US for this remote position. Please start your message with "[HN]" when you apply. Please send any questions in comments.

A few tech notes:

- We are a pioneer in using an open source MySQL clustering solution called Vitess. It was created originally to host the data for YouTube and has just been accepted as a cloud native computing foundation project. We have worked with the google team to implement it here at Stitch and have enjoyed contributing to the project.

- We recently migrated our dev environments from Vagrant to Docker, and we have active initiatives to Dockerize our production environment.

- Our main application is running on Laravel 5.5 and all applications are running PHP 7.1

- We have various microservices running Laravel and Lumen all running out of Docker containers orchestrated through Kubernetes

- We regularly host the Laravel SF meetup group (Come join us!)

- All applications we write have a heavy focus on Object Oriented Programming and automated unit / functional testing

- We have invested heavily in getting all of our internal company data into BigQuery. We use it to introspect and drive decisions frequently, especially in the engineering department.
