We believe the economy is better when everyone has access. When everyone has room to grow. No one should be left out because the cost is too great or the technology too complex. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there. 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. 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.

One of Square’s strongest assets is its Risk and Security foundation. This team works diligently to protect merchants and develop best-in-class risk and security products -- a key reason our merchants join, and stick with, Square. As we learn more about the Square customer base, we’re using the insights to build tools that make risk management (think: fraud prevention and disputes management) simple, accessible, and actionable for Square’s merchants. In this pursuit, Square Secure is adding our first dedicated Designer.

In this role, you’ll fully own design for customer-facing risk products. On a day-to-day basis, you’ll collaborate with Designers, Product Managers, Marketers, and other teams across the company. You’ll actively contribute to product strategy and work across myriad teams to create the best experiences for our customers. We believe in generalists who have a hand in each stage of the product development process, so Product Designers at Square take projects from whiteboard sketches to final visual specifications, regularly presenting work and progress to business and technical leaders.
