## About the role

Block Information Security is an engineering-driven team focused on scaling security through innovation. Our Security Governance team designs and promotes the frameworks and standards that safeguard customer data, elevate security considerations across the company, and simplify regulatory and compliance obligations. The team also operates the agent-first platform that turns those frameworks into running systems.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years building production software in backend, platform, data, or security engineering
- Multi-year ownership of a production system, including on-call, SLOs, and the maintenance work that starts after launch
- Proficiency with at least one of Python, Kotlin, Java, or Go, and comfort reading unfamiliar codebases
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs (prompting, tool use, agents, or LLM-backed features) and opinions about where model judgment belongs and where it doesn't. Judgment matters more here than volume
- Experience with integration patterns: REST APIs, webhooks, authentication flows, event-driven architectures
- Experience pulling, normalizing, and joining data from multiple imperfect sources, and handling the edge cases gracefully
