Square Lures Amazon Engineer for Lead Position

Square has lured Amazon Web Services VP of storage services, Alyssa Henry, away from Amazon to become its lead engineer, according to Information Week.

“Making technology simple is a fun challenge because it requires tackling massive complexity,” Henry said in a statement from Square. “I’ve spent the last 7 years building simple, reliable, and cost-effective services that help entrepreneurs scale their business. Local sellers deserve access to the same tools and opportunities to grow,” she said.

Henry will lead the engineering team for Square’s infrastructure and payments platform, which processes billions of dollars in payments each year.
