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, helping the ice cream shop pay its employees, and giving the burgeoning coffee chain capital for a second, third, and fourth location. Let’s shorten the distance between having an idea and making a living from it. 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.

In this high impact role, you will lead the design of our core seller web platform at Square. You will drive the design vision and manage a team working on projects that are central to the success and growth of, not only Square, but of our sellers. You will create a set of tools and build a design system framework that is scalable for the rest of the company to use to build their products. With a focus on design systems, you will be building the container for customers to create their own experiences within this dashboard.

From the beginning, it’s been part of our core business strategy that Design play a central role in our product development process. Leaders who thrive here tend to be generalists that have a hand in each stage of product design. Designers at Square take projects from sketch to final visual specifications. We pride ourselves on rethinking established paradigms and redefining elegance in software.
