About The Position

Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together. So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale. Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we’re helping sellers worldwide do the same. The Role We’re looking for an experienced Principal Product Designer to join our Point of Sale Design team. Our team is responsible for the core POS experience for both sellers and buyers, evolving and reinventing the shared surfaces of our Point of Sale to better serve sellers. We work closely with audience-specific design and product teams, as well as our hardware partners. The future of POS will use AI to streamline workflows and create unique, delightful experiences for sellers and buyers alike. We’re looking for someone with strong visual and interaction design skills, excellent prototyping ability, and a systems-thinking mindset. As a senior designer on the team, you’ll lead ambitious projects from vision through shipped product, while raising the bar for both execution and product vision.

Requirements

A strong understanding of AI, including how it can be applied to the design process and integrated into product experiences.
Strong visual design abilities, along with an understanding of how motion can elevate experiences and create stand out moments of delight.
A proven ability to collaborate across a broader design team, as well as with product and engineering partners.

Responsibilities

Lead vision-heavy design projects as we set a new standard for core Point of Sale experiences.
Lead by showing, often using prototypes to visualize and explore ideas, build internal and cross-functional support, and bring projects to life.
Collaborate closely with design, product, and engineering leadership to shape strategy and execution.
