GoDaddy Payments helps small businesses and power sellers get paid, in person and online. Our Point of Sale line – Smart Terminal Duo, Flex, and Pro – gives merchants a fast, reliable, trusted way to take payments across the counter, and it spans hardware, operating systems, and payments infrastructure. This team owns that entire device stack: the physical fleet, the OS that runs on it, and the checkout experiences merchants and their customers use every day. We work closely with hardware engineering, OS and firmware teams, ODM/OEM manufacturing partners, and payments engineering to ship devices merchants trust with their revenue. If you want to own a physical product merchants rely on every day, along with the software economics behind it, this is that role.
