Verify details and apply via the employer link.
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.
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.
The Role
Day-to-day scope for the Principal Product Designer as described in the posting:
We’re looking for an experienced Principal Product Designer to join our Square 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.

You Will

You Have
- A strong understanding of AI, including how it can be applied to the design process and integrated into product experiences.
