Named the #1 Restaurant POS by G2 (Fall 2025), based on ratings from real users
Rated the top‑rated point‑of‑sale (POS) for restaurants, bars, retail, and small businesses by Capterra users
Awarded Great Places to Work and Built In’s Best Workplaces for multiple years running
We move fast, care hard, and fight for independent restaurant operators to do what they love, and love doing it. If you’re looking to make an impact with heart and hustle, SpotOn is the place for you.
We believe great, enduring design makes complex systems feel simple. We eliminate what’s unnecessary, adapt to user context, and deliver information thoughtfully. Flexibility, reliability, and value are paramount to all that we do.
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who is as fluent in AI‑assisted workflows as they are in pixels and prototypes – someone who sees the expanding AI toolkit not as a shortcut, but as a force multiplier for craft, speed, and impact.
At SpotOn, our designers are already shipping functional prototypes and influencing roadmap decisions using tools like Figma Make, Claude, and Vercel – in direct partnership with their engineering and product triads. We believe the best designers today are redefining what a design process looks like, and we’re building a team that leads that charge.
This role is for a seasoned designer who brings a high standard of craft, drives execution of complex features across platforms, and actively experiments with what AI makes possible. You’ll advocate for user needs while balancing technical and business constraints – and you’ll help shape how design works at SpotOn for years to come.
