UX Researcher
- Full-time
Company Description
Job Description
The Appointments team at Square is focused on creating purpose-built tools for businesses that sell their time (think: hair stylists at salons, trainers at gyms, lawyers, contractors, etc.). On this team, we’re building brand new products on top of Square’s revolutionary payments platform to make the lives of these professionals easier and more productive, and the experience for their customers more modern and seamless. Our small, cross-functional, and collaborative team has already built many foundational features and are now focused on innovating and experimenting, across all platforms, and beyond traditional product lines.
Research plays an important role in all of our decisions. We’re looking to hire a researcher who can bridge the gap between our sellers, designers, product managers, and engineers to build empathy, inform strategy, and identify opportunities for us to improve. You’ll be the first dedicated design researcher embedded directly on the Appointments design team and help craft experiences that empower our merchants to more effectively run their businesses.
