The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Square is hiring a Solutions Architect in Oxford, MS.

• Role description

  Square is hiring a Solutions Architect to design, build, and ship software that serves millions of users every day. Take ownership, lean on your 5 years of Next.js, and earn $79,000 - $105,000 as part of a team that grows with you.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Own the goal-oriented Flask subsystem that the rest of Square quietly depends on
  • Implement secure authentication and authorization flows using Resilience
  • Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
  • Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
  • Cut Resilience cold-start times so Square functions wake before MS users notice
  • Own a technology service end to end, from Resilience schema to on-call rotation
  • Monitor system health and set up alerting for human-first production environments

  What You'll Bring

  • The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
  • Hands-on familiarity with Agile, sharpened by Spring Boot side projects
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
  • Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements

  You can trace a lot of MS's technology momentum back to a craft-focused little team called Square in Oxford. Recognition here is specific and frequent, not saved up for some annual Oxford, MS ceremony.

  We start the conversation at $79,000 - $105,000 and end it with mentorship, benefits, and the flexibility to grow without relocating from MS.

  Confirmed unfilled today, Square continues its search in real time.

  We'd rather hear from you sooner than later, so don't sit on this Solutions Architect opening.
