Rezayee held a number of senior executive and research roles in technology companies before arriving at Square in 2015 when the company acquired his own tech firm, Kili Technology Corporation. Kili specializes in payment processing software, silicon, electronics and electrical circuits.

The new team also has the help of Apple Inc. veteran Thomas Templeton who had been tasked with building a bitcoin wallet for Square and will be accepting applications for new positions. Dorogusker's team will run a technical investigation to determine what you need to take on the project.
