Since we first opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely – and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take a payment 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, run a busy kitchen, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. And 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 all in one place.

Today, we’re a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex commerce operations, sellers just starting out, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers scale, so do our solutions. We all grow together.

There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a business that is big, meaningful, and lasting. And we are helping sellers around the world do the same.

As the foundational layer of Square's platform, Commerce Foundations serves all applications introduced into Square's seller ecosystem. We deliver the primary components our customers need to establish their identity, secure their data, and manage their real-world businesses on Square. In this high-visibility role, you'll work in close collaboration with a diverse team of UX researchers, product managers, engineers, and data analysts. You will define and deliver a long-term vision for account management and security.

As a Product Designer at Square, you will lead the end-to-end design process, including primary research, information architecture, rapid prototyping, and high-polish visual design to influence the product roadmap.

You will report to the Design Lead for Commerce Foundations and work with a team of three Product Designers.

You Will: 

• Create end-to-end product design approaches on features that empower small- and medium-sized businesses and the people behind them.
• Guide design execution, improve the seller experience, and work with team members (think product managers and engineers) to launch features.
• Think holistically about complex systems, empathize with users, and understand goals to create compelling user experiences

• Around 5 years of professional design experience
• A portfolio of work that reflects your strengths in both UX and visual design skills in which you were the primary designer, with moderate guidance from design leadership
• Experience connecting your design work with product, team, and company goals

Even Better:

• You can connect your work to larger team or company initiatives.
• You plan, scope, and create work that contributes to a larger, long-term plan
• You think holistically about complex systems, empathize with users, and understand goals to create compelling user experiences.
• You propose and participate in usability and field research
• You work on challenging, wide-reaching projects for your team
• You communicate your ideas and work to your direct team and other teams
• You know when to compromise without sacrificing user experience or design principles
