Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of product design experience or related/equivalent experience
- Experience designing enterprise level software as a service products
- A strong visual portfolio showcasing previous work
- Ability to communicate design concepts through sketches and wireframes
- Experience with Figma, Sketch, and/or other design tools
- Experience with prototyping tools
- Understanding of design principles and knowledge of different platforms
- Experience building design systems
- Knows how to communicate ideas to a large range of stakeholders
- Loves working in a team, but can also work independently
- A strong design executor who excels at simplifying complex problems by building empathy — you always start with the customer and their problems, and you design with the target audience in mind
- A self-starter who thrives in an autonomous environment — you're comfortable in an unestablished environment and thrive in "zero to one" situations where you are able to shape and drive a product's design direction with minimal guidance
- Experienced in designing both streamlined web and desktop experiences as well as well-crafted mobile apps across both enterprise and consumer applications — you have a proven track record of creating visually appealing designs for software applications, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for users across diverse demographics and regions
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Product Designer to join our global team
- As our first product designer, you’ll deliver intuitive and easy-to-use experiences that help us make bitcoin and mining related software understandable and accessible to users
- You’ll have the autonomy and speed of working in a small team, with the support and resources of the Block ecosystem
- You’ll be connected to the wider design community from other parts of the company — Square, Cash App, Spiral, and Tidal — so you’ll have a chance to lean on experienced designers as sounding boards, without losing the ability to move quickly and have autonomy
- Work in a small, multi-disciplinary team to design & deliver innovative end-to-end experiences from concept to production (includes helping to set the product vision, exploring design solutions, prototyping, supporting implementation)
- Develop and manage our early-stage design system
- Focus on real customer problems by using user research insights and customer feedback to identify opportunities, working as a thought partner to product managers
Our take
Block is a financial services technology company comprising of Square, Cash App, Spiral, TIDAL, and TBD. Its biggest brand, Square, offers hardware and software for small to medium-sized businesses enabling them to manage the entire payment lifecycle. It functions similarly to Shopify and Stripe, but has paired online payment processing with physical devices such as registers, payment terminals, and mobile card readers.
The business was originally founded as Square in 2009 by Jack Dorsey of Twitter fame. Already well-established with SMEs all over the globe, Square has significantly benefited from the increased demand for mobile payment systems. Its order management feature remains a go-to tool for small businesses that otherwise didn't have the proper infrastructure in place when demand for home delivery surged.
Square rebranded as Block in December 2021, with the Square brand name remaining in place for their seller business. The company has since come under fire for its security practices, facing lawsuits in relation to a major breach of CashApp user data, and in 2024 announced plans to reduce its workforce in order to cut costs. Despite these setbacks, there is every chance the business will move past this, though it may take some time to rebuild trust in its product.
