About the role

As a Staff Android Engineer on Cash App Consumer Platform, you are a multiplier for the entire client engineering discipline. You think in systems. You spot problems before they have names. You create platforms and patterns that make the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard. You operate at an organizational scope. Your work shapes how hundreds of Builders build and how millions of customers experience Cash App.

What they're looking for

  • Platform or infrastructure builder's mindset. You've built systems for engineers as your customers, and you care deeply about developer experience
  • A high agency mindset - if you see a problem you take the initiative to find a solution
  • 10+ years of Android development experience with a demonstrated track record of impact at organizational scope
  • BA/BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
  • Proven organizational leadership. You've driven large-scale technical initiatives across multiple teams and left systems meaningfully better
  • AI-native development practice - You actively use AI-assisted development tools and have a strong, evolving point of view on where AI creates real leverage in engineering - and where it falls short

The Cash App Consumer Platform is responsible for laying the foundation that every Cash App engineer builds on. We own the shared systems, abstractions, and tooling that power product development across the app. We sit at the product platform layer, building on top of core systems enabling...
