Software Engineer (Frontend), Restaurants

The Restaurants team at Square is reimagining the hospitality industry to empower today's restaurants with simple, elegant software and efficient workflows. Restaurants today operate in an increasingly dynamic landscape, and we're building a modern product ecosystem to support this by using technology to unlock new workflows, revenue streams, and means of communication. Our focus is on efficiency, automation, and reliability: themes of paramount importance in a fast-paced environment where great hospitality is key.

As a frontend engineer on the Restaurants Kitchen team, you will develop elegant, intuitive solutions for restaurant owners to manage their business. Our management system is called Dashboard, a powerful web app used to build menus and customize workflows, set up and configure points of sales and kitchen display systems, view reporting and analytics, and more -- every aspect of running a food and beverage business. You’ll work together with other engineers on your team as well as cross-functionally with your designer and product manager to create the best solutions for our customers’ needs.

Our team started in NYC and we’re now thrilled to be expanding to new locations. Come join our small, fast-growing team in Toronto to be on the ground floor for our exciting growth!
