We believe everyone should be able to participate and thrive in the economy. So we’re building tools that make commerce easier and more accessible to all. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there. Our new reader helps our sellers accept chip cards and NFC payments, and our Cash app lets people pay each other back instantly. We’re empowering the independent electrician to send invoices, setting up the favorite food truck with a delivery option, and helping the ice cream shop pay its employees. 

And, with Square Capital, we have extended over $1 billion in funding to our sellers, helping them manage their cashflow and making it easy to invest in and grow their business. Let’s shorten the distance between having an idea and making a living from it. And make it easier for customers to shop and pay at their favorite businesses. We’re here to help sellers of all sizes start, run, and grow their business—and helping them grow their business is good business for everyone.

From the beginning, Design has played a central role in Square’s product development process. Whether it’s crafting the user interface our Sellers rely on to run their businesses or designing a landing page for a new product, the Design team is involved at every step. We’re responsible for creating the brand promise customers have in their first interaction with Square Capital and ensuring we deliver on that promise in every aspect of the experience. It’s crucial we communicate confidence and credibility at every step.

The Capital Design Team is highly collaborative and you will work closely with a small team of marketers, engineers, and product managers to create world-class experiences for our customers. As a member of our team, you will be responsible for the design and execution of experiences for the Square Capital brand and marketing materials across a variety of channels. This includes the core Square Capital web pages as well as illustrations, emails, advertisements, landing pages, and print collateral.
