The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Square is hiring a Backend Developer in Albany, GA.

• Role description

  We don't need a Backend Developer who knows everything about Linux; we need one curious enough to find out what they don't. You'll bring 4 years of Agile, and in return get $70,000 - $105,000, a supportive team, and the freedom to drive your own results.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Break large technology initiatives into Microservices increments Albany can actually deliver
  • Refactor the technology module Square has been afraid to touch
  • Carry a thoughtfully-bold Kafka feature through code freeze without breaking Square stability
  • Automate the manual Agile chores that quietly drain Albany, GA engineering hours
  • Apply Written Communication and Coaching to solve mission-soaked engineering challenges

  What You'll Bring

  • An Albany network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
  • Experience at the mid-level inside a remote role
  • Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
  • Bias-to-action problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
  • A point of view on Square's space, sharpened by your own reading

  Square grew from an Albany kitchen table into a client-focused technology company that Albany, GA now genuinely depends on. A mid-level title opens doors here, but earning real trust is what keeps them open.

  We value work-life balance, so expect $70,000 - $105,000, flexible hours, paid sabbaticals, and a supportive mentoring program.

  Right now, today, applications for the technology role are landing and being read.

  We welcome applications from driven professionals ready to make an impact.
