Company Description

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.

Job Description

The payments team enables Square to move money by creating products that help sellers take payments and manage their money, as well as building infrastructure and working with external partners. We find the best ways to move money across different networks and countries in a way that is cost-effective, available, scalable, secure, and forward-looking. The Payments team is one of the most essential teams at Square by ensuring sellers can easily onboard onto Square, take payments, spend their money using Square Card, and instantly deposit money to their bank account. The Payments team is the arbiter for some of the primary acquisition channels at Square and is responsible for a large portion of Squares revenue.

As a Product Designer on the Payments team, you will be working on products that impact millions of sellers by designing core experiences within Square apps, including the onboarding flows, first time payments tutorials, and payments experiences including the Payments Terminal (calculator) and new methods customers will use to pay sellers. Designers will be expected to lead design for complex end-to-end flows within native apps and web experiences for desktop and mobile. Designers will work closely with their cross-functional team, Sr. Designers on the team, and report to the Design Lead of Payments.
