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 are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

The Role

We're looking for an experienced Principal Product Designer to join our small but mighty Point of Sale Design team. As part of the Foundations workstream, we're responsible for the core POS experience for both sellers and buyers. This means evolving and reinventing the shared surface areas of our Point of Sale to better serve our sellers. We work closely with our audience-specific design and product teams, and our hardware partners.

The future of our POS will utilize AI to streamline workflows and deliver unique and delightful experiences for both sellers and buyers. We're looking for someone who can bring strong visual and interaction design skills, excellent prototyping ability, and a systems-thinking mindset. As one of the most senior designers on the team, you'll lead bigger projects from vision to shipped product, and raise the execution and vision bar on our team.

You Will

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

You Have

• 12+ years of relevant Product Design experience
• A strong understanding of artificial intelligence is essential, encompassing both its application in design processes and its integration within design outcomes.
• Strong visual design abilities, along with a comprehension of how motion can enhance user experiences and create delight.
• A great ability to collaborate with the broader design team, as well as product and engineering
