Software Engineer, Access

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

We're the Access team, and we're building the next generation of authentication and permissions infrastructure for Block. Behind every login and every account there's a platform that needs to be both rock-solid and remarkably flexible.

This isn't about maintaining legacy systems, it's about building the foundation that will enable Cash App and Block's ecosystem to scale while serving increasingly diverse customer needs.

The Challenge : As Block accelerates product innovation, we're seeing an explosion of new use cases : different account capabilities, different authentication requirements, different customer cohorts with different needs. We're building a platform that lets product teams move fast while we maintain the trust and security that our customers depend on.

The Opportunity : You'll be joining at an inflection point. The decisions we make now about architecture, about APIs, about how we enable other teams—will define how Block scales for years to come. This is foundational work with massive leverage.

You Will

• Design and build the APIs and services that power Authentication & Permissions across Cash App and Block's ecosystem, the systems that determine who can access what, and how they prove they are who they say they are. The work is varied and impactful. You might :

Build fine-grained permissions systems that enable different roles and capabilities across various account configurations
