Job Description

As Square has grown, our sellers have gone from businesses with just a few employees to many (sometimes hundreds or thousands!). Square Staff provides business owners and managers the tools to manage their entire team. The Shifts team builds tools that allow sellers to plan and manage their team’s schedule, track time, and manage wages, tips, and commissions. Our features live in Square Dashboard, Point of Sale, the mobile Square Team app, and in public Square APIs available to outside developers. We work closely with partner teams in Staff to provide a tight integration with our Payroll and Team Management solutions.
