About the role
At Block, we strive to build the best financial products in the world. The Financial Platform Issuing team owns the card issuing platform that serves every Block brand — powering Cash App Card, the fourth-largest debit card program in the US, alongside Square Card and the new card programs Block launches next.
What they're looking for
- Personally built, certified, or operated a live direct network connection — not only integrated through a processor
- Experience working directly with card networks to land concrete outcomes, such as rulings, exceptions, extensions, configuration changes, defect fixes, or certification outcomes
- Strong hands-on software engineering experience building and operating highly reliable financial or payments systems at scale
- A track record of leading technically complex, ambiguous work across team boundaries and influencing technical direction beyond your immediate area of ownership
- Experience creating durable technical leverage — frameworks, standards, tooling, architecture, or practices that other engineers and teams adopt
- Broad understanding of the card lifecycle, with depth in areas such as issuance and fulfillment, provisioning and activation, authorization, ledgering, clearing and settlement, reconciliation, disputes, or fraud
More about this role
It all started with an idea at Block in 2013. Initially built to take the pain out of peer-to-peer payments, Cash App has gone from a simple product with a single purpose to a dynamic ecosystem, developing unique financial products, including Afterpay/Clearpay, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 50+ million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world’s relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.
Today, Cash App has thousands of employees working globally across office and remote locations, with a culture geared toward innovation, collaboration and impact. We’ve been a distributed team since day one, and many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Cash App operates. No matter the location, we tailor our experience to ensure our employees are creative, productive, and happy.
