Senior Engineering Manager, Mobile and Web Automation

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
The Quality and Automation team is essential in guiding Square's Automation Engineering division to deliver, reliable experiences for Square's customers by investing in test automation. The team develops a cohesive set of frameworks and tools to allow teams to monitor and improve the experiences of both sellers and buyers on a large-scale. Additionally, the team monitors for signs of business or engineering issues and leads cross-functional teams to resolve these challenges.
As a Senior Engineering Manager on the Automation team, you will lead a team focused on investing in automation frameworks across mobile applications and the web. We enhance the coverage and build infrastructure for test automation for Square's mobile apps and web platforms. We also develop tools and processes to enable engineering teams to collect and prioritize work using automation data, metrics, and analytics.
