Jobbeschreibung

Senior Product Designer- Hardware (fixed term 12 months)

Berlin, Germany · Product & Design

Hardware is the team behind the card readers merchants use every day to take payments, from a market stall to a busy café till. The role sits within the Solo squad, working across embedded systems, on-device UI, companion app, and backend, so decisions made here shape a product experience unlike a typical app role. Whoever joins will step into a well-established craft with real scope to shape how the next generation of Solo evolves, working directly with engineering to bring ideas from concept to something millions of merchants use daily.
