The Role
We are on a mission to make commerce easy and accessible for businesses of all sizes. The Monetization team plays a critical role in this mission by increasing the adoption and utilization of Square's products. Whether it's through smarter pricing experiences, plan comparisons, or in-app upgrade paths, our work helps Sellers grow and enables success in driving business outcomes.
As a Senior Engineer, you'd lead initiatives to build elegant, user-friendly, and accessible experiences that directly influence product adoption and monetization. You'll join a thoughtful and collaborative team where product, data, design, and engineering work closely to deliver high impact outcomes. You'll lead the charge in crafting reusable components, driving architectural decisions, and mentoring others. You'll have the opportunity to directly influence pricing strategy, drive meaningful business outcomes, set the standards for technical excellence and help scale a world-class frontend engineering culture. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys writing code, building elegant and impactful user experiences, and partnering closely with product, design, and other teams to bring new experiences to life.
You Will
  • Design and implement complex, user-facing features and frontend architectures that scale.
  • Build and scale React-based applications with high standards for performance, maintainability, and accessibility.
  • Lead critical engineering initiatives that impact product monetization, conversion, and feature adoption.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to rapidly prototype and iterate on ongoing initiatives
  • Define the technical strategy and raise the standards on best practices across front-end architecture, performance, accessibility, testing and maintainability
  • Explore and implement emerging technologies, including AI-assisted automations to enhance our development workflows
  • Mentor engineers across the teams, evolving and instilling a culture of high quality and high velocity work leading by example

You Have
  • 8+ years of industry experience building for the web, with proven record of successfully delivering large features
  • Deep expertise in React and modern frameworks - the kind of knowledge that comes from building and maintaining large-scale React applications
  • Significant experience working with component libraries and design systems. You've worked to maintain an existing one and/or helped build one from the ground up
  • Experience building high-quality, production-level interfaces at scale
  • Strong collaboration, communication, and ownership
  • Strong experience working cross-functionally with multiple stakeholders
  • Curiosity about emerging technologies and their practical applications in system workflows

Even Better
  • Experience leading frontend architecture for platform-wide components or frameworks.
  • Familiarity with A/B testing and experimentation tooling.
  • Understanding of business and growth metrics, with the ability to translate them into UX and engineering strategies.
  • Strong commitment to web accessibility and experience implementing accessibility guidelines in applications
  • Familiarity with GraphQL, Redux (or similar state management libraries), and design systems like Storybook.
  • Previous work in SaaS, subscriptions, or pricing applications would be a plus

Technologies We Use and Teach
  • React, GraphQL
  • Design systems and component libraries (e.g. Storybook)
  • A/B testing and analytics platforms
  • CI/CD pipelines, Webpack/Vite, feature flags

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
