Software Engineer, Reconciliation & Reporting

About the role

Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together.

So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.

Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

The Role

You will join the Recon and Reporting team, which owns our post-transaction systems: the platform responsible for reconciling money, tracing the end-to-end flow of funds, and meeting our tax and regulatory reporting obligations to merchants, customers, and authorities worldwide. Reconciliation and financial reporting are essential to running a payments business, and given our transaction volume, the projects you own will have direct, measurable impact on financial accuracy and trust.

You will help build and operate the systems that ingest and integrate global card-network settlement and report files (Visa, Mastercard, and equivalents), along with data from acquirers, processors, and banks, and reconcile them against internal payment data to power settlement, dispute, cost, tax, and regulatory reporting. You will own well-scoped projects within this platform end-to-end, with guidance from more experienced engineers. Our vision is to make reconciliation and reporting accurate, automated, and near real-time.

You Will

- Own small, well-bounded projects end-to-end with guidance available: clarify requirements, design, build, test, ship, and follow up.

- Build and maintain features within the ingestion and reconciliation pipelines that match card-network and partner reports against internal transaction data.

- Contribute to tooling that provides end-to-end traceability of money throughout the system.

- Develop features for reporting and reconciliation products that are accurate, reliable, timely, scalable, and user-friendly for both internal finance teams and external merchants.

- Produce standardized journals and summaries that feed downstream accounting, audit, and analysis.
