We build native foundations that support seller-facing software across multiple teams. You will set direction for iOS architecture, performance, reliability, security, and developer experience. You can start from an important, unowned problem, prove a direction through hands-on work, and create a program other teams can join. You may begin as the sole expert, but your goal is to create leverage through clear interfaces, documentation, and new technical leaders., * Define strategy, architecture, standards, and measures of success across teams and applications.

• Build prototypes, reference implementations, and the critical path needed to prove the direction.

• Establish durable practices for quality, testing, observability, release safety, and maintainability.

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.
