Company Description

Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.

Recently I see some of rising industries even in corona outbreak such as Delivery, Fintech, Food chain, Stock Exchange, Business Software and Entertainment. Many of job offers come from this industries that I mentioned recently.

Technology company now started to get into financial sector with an official allowance, bank charter. This trends will be accerelated and spread even in and after corona pandemic.

This new penetration by tech company into finance may make competition severe in financial services. Conventional banks may have big challenge. But as we see in the job description, the new company could cover the hidden sector that conventional banks hasn’t covered or ignored intentionally.

For other rapidly rising industries beside Fintech, already big competition has started in the fields that I mentioned above. and opportunites are also there. Most of delivery requirements has increased in covid-19 time by the increase of online shopping and food delivery requirement. Stock index still stay in high position with extra money that most of people got from a stimulus package of government. Even young people who hasn’t experienced stock investment try to buy stock.
