Software Engineer, Commerce Consumer Experience

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

The Cash Commerce team is building new payment experiences on Cash App that leverage our vast omni-channel Seller ecosystem at Square, Afterpay and beyond. We make this possible via an OAuth 2.0 based API to empower the consumer in what is traditionally a merchant and bank-controlled world. For a demo of the payment experience, check out shop.cash.app!

As a software engineer on the Cash Commerce - Consumer Experience team, you will be deeply involved in the technical details of building highly available and reliable services, while also working with product teams and as a product owner to build new capabilities for our customers, partners, and merchants as we scale payment offerings across e-commerce and in-person experiences. You'll be joining the team in a strong product life cycle, with plenty of opportunities to continue shaping it from an engineering and product perspective.
