Product Manager, XPOS

Square has a robust suite of Point of Sale products, including those that are free to get started (Square Point of Sale) and those that are premium solutions that are purpose built for specific industries like restaurants, retail, and services. Powering all these products is a shared point of sale product-platform team that builds common features, components and developer frameworks that are integrated into every point of sale product, which speeds development and allows Square to offer new features and services to its sellers in a scalable and efficient way.

XPOS Platform is a new team at Square responsible for ensuring that Square's engineers can build reliable, performant, and delightful point of sale products at scale. We identify and remove roadblocks that slow down the delivery of new features and products, and lead other platform and product teams to adopt new development frameworks that increase efficiency and quality.
