Software Engineer, Cash Lending

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.
The Role
Cash App's mission is to make money instantly available and universally accessible - all the products and features we've released in the app are based on those principles. Lending is one of the fastest growing Cash App products and we're looking for a Software Engineer to join this team and help deliver on our vision of economic empowerment.
Lending offers Cash users low-friction access to money without prohibitive repayment terms and the Lending Engineering team is focused on building the complex systems and tooling to support access and availability. Within Lending, the Core Engineering team focuses on building the products and platforms that help deliver this access and credit to our customers at scale. We're looking for people who are as excited about our mission as they are about the technical challenges we have.

• Take a developer-centric approach in designing and building APIs
• Develop Cash App Lending features and test everything you build thoroughly
• Operate and manage existing Cash services
• Provide mentorship to other members of the team
• Make recommendations to improve the team and wider Engineering practices

You Have

• 5+ years working on complex systems and delivering quality software
• Developed clear expertise in one or more technical areas
• Curiosity that pushes you to find flaws in a complex system and take whatever steps are necessary to fix them
• Taken technical initiative on previous projects, having led or contributed to medium-to-large feature releases
• The ability to persevere in complex situations, across multiple axes: e.g. scale, uncertainty, interconnectedness
• An interest in working on a product that impacts people/businesses directly
