Data Scientist

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.

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. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

We are looking for a quantitative, AI-fluent early-career professional to fill a data science role focused on payments data across Square and Cash App. You will partner closely with Product, Operations, Finance, and Engineering, leveraging data tools to optimize our payments platform from success rate, to cost efficiency, to risk mitigation. In addition to vertical work focused on the Payments domain, we also expect you to contribute to horizontal initiatives across the broader Data Org from data systems, to process and tooling.
