Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together.
So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.
Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

The Retail, Catalog, and Inventory team designs the core experiences that power how sellers run and grow their businesses. From the smallest shop to larger-scale operations, these tools are the backbone of how all Square merchants manage products, track stock, and deliver seamless buying experiences across every channel. This team ensures Square’s ecosystem is not only intuitive and reliable but also transformative—helping sellers reduce complexity, operate more efficiently, and unlock new opportunities for growth.
We’re looking for a Principal Designer with strong systems-thinking, vision, and craft to shape the future of how sellers interact with their catalog and inventory. You’ll partner with cross-functional leaders and teams across Square to define strategic direction, guide design execution across multiple surfaces, and champion the voice of the seller. As one of the most senior design leaders in this space, you’ll set a high bar for ambition and craft, mentor other designers, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
