3y ago

Company Description

We believe everyone should be able to participate and thrive in the economy. So we’re building tools that make commerce easier and more accessible to all. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there. Our new reader helps our sellers accept chip cards and NFC payments, and our Cash App lets people pay each other back instantly. 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. Let’s shorten the distance between having an idea and making a living from it. 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

You will champion and balance the needs of multiple stakeholders spanning our sellers, our partners, our internal first-party app developers and external third-party developers who innovate on behalf of our sellers.

  • Define the product vision and roadmap for your products 
  • Focus the team on the most impactful projects by understanding customer use cases, synthesizing those needs into your product roadmap, and defining key metrics
