Web Engineer (Front-End)

Every day, Clover devices handle the core credit card and point-of-sale processing for hundreds of thousands of merchants. We provide next-generation payment services to the world’s largest payment processor, First Data, (USD$2.2 trillion processing volume). Behind the scenes, we operate a cloud platform providing processing, storage, and collaboration for merchants, application developers, service providers and our merchants’ customers. Our devices and platform form the backbone of millions of payment interactions between merchants and their customers daily.

To support all of this, we have a team of engineers dedicated to ensuring our systems remain operational, safe and secure. Our systems not only process payments, but help merchants run their businesses with inventory management solutions, customer loyalty rewards and other applications that are tailored to their industry. Right now, as we are looking to dive into new markets and expand our breadth of product, and we need Web Engineers to grow and improve our product in order to reach company goals.

At Clover, our team is broken down into product-focused squads. Each squad comes with its own unique set of responsibilities and contains engineers from all parts of the stack. These squads range in focus; for instance, the Developer Platform Squad is centered on making sure our 3rd party developers have all of the tools they need to make cool apps for our merchants to download from the Clover App Market. We also have some squads that are focused more on Clover operations; the Internal and Customer Support Squad designs the dashboard that our internal developers and customer service representatives use on a daily basis. The clover.com domain gets over 12 million page views a month and we can thank our Web Infrastructure Squad for making sure that our site remains operational for our merchants, 3rd party developers, internal developers and customer support representitives.

Our Web Engineers are tasked with improving/expanding our platform and product by developing our websites and supporting a wide range of functionality across the suite of apps we provide our merchants: Clover App Market, inventory management, reporting, employee management, device management, etc. Our Web Engineers work closely with Android Application Engineers, the Product Team and designers. Our engineers are pragmatic in balancing priorities and enjoy working in an iterative model where web features are released every other week.

On a daily basis, you will spend 10% of your time discussing designs of new features, 40% of your time developing features, 40% of your time investigating/reproducing/resolving bugs, and about 10% of your doing code review. We are interested in hiring flexible engineers who can contribute in product discussions and balance their work on several projects. Ideal candidates have a passion for creating sleek interfaces that enhance merchants’ experience by providing insights into all aspects of their businesses.
