Senior Product Manager, POS Developer Platform
- Full-time
- Alternate Location: New York, United States
Company Description
To solve this problem, we expanded into software and built integrated solutions to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, 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.
Job Description
Square has a robust suite of Point of Sale products, including those that are free to get started (Square Point of Sale) and those that are premium solutions that are purpose built for specific industries like restaurants, retail, and services. Powering all these products is a shared point of sale product-platform team that builds common features, components and developer frameworks that are integrated into every point of sale product, which speeds development and allows Square to offer new features and services to its sellers in a scalable and efficient way.

You Will:
- Deeply understand the needs of both internal and external customers in order to identify and prioritize their problems
