Staff Product Designer – Retail point‑of‑sale
Location: Montreal, Quebec (HQ); open to other locations in Eastern Canada.

Responsibilities

• Own end‑to‑end design for core point‑of‑sale experiences, from problem framing to polished, shipped product.


• Make complicated flows feel simple: distill dense, high‑frequency merchant workflows into clear, fast, confidence‑inspiring experiences.


• Design with real‑world constraints as creative fuel – partner closely with engineering to find solutions that are both excellent and feasible in mature, at‑scale systems.


• Ground decisions in evidence: drive your own research and testing with real merchants.


• Think in systems: strengthen consistency across the wider point‑of‑sale portfolio, contributing patterns and improvements back to our shared design system.


• Multiply the team: mentor other designers, raise the bar through critique, and bring a point of view that makes the work around you better.


• Put AI to work in your craft – use modern tools to explore, prototype, and validate faster, and model new ways of working for the team.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product design experience at product‑driven tech companies, with measurable impact on shipped products.


• A portfolio that shows strong fundamentals, polished UI craft, and complex workflows made simple.


• Experience designing for mature, at‑scale products – with judgment to know when to simplify, modernize, or leave well enough alone.


• A track record of partnering with engineering to navigate technical constraints and still ship excellent work.


• Fluency with prototyping and research methods to validate decisions and shape product direction.


• Active use of AI tools in design workflow, and curiosity about how they’re changing the craft.


• Strong communication skills – able to build alignment with cross‑functional, global partners.

Benefits & Culture

• Equity options.


• Contributions to a pension plan.


• Training opportunities to grow your skills and career.
