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 Financial Platform (Finplat) team is responsible for building systems that power products built by Cash App. We build deep integrations with underlying financial infrastructures and ensure that our products are able to scale.
The Money Infrastructure team (within Finplat) is responsible for core capabilities, including ledgering, reporting and inventory management, pricing, reconciliation (recon), settlements and treasury management. These systems are essential to tracking and managing the flow of funds, providing precision at scale, and enabling seamless financial operations for millions of customers worldwide.
Your team will focus on building robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure that powers key financial workflows-accurately tracking and managing funds across various accounts, and ensuring timely and accurate settlements. From maintaining ledger accuracy to optimising treasury systems and reconciliation pipelines, your leadership will enable Cash App to deliver a seamless, trustworthy, and compliant money movement experience for our customers.
Working cross-functionally with product managers, engineers, data teams, and finance stakeholders - you will define the team's vision, roadmap, and technical strategy. The systems you and your team build will directly influence Cash App's ability to scale financial services, unlock new product opportunities, and ensure operational excellence.
We have strong values of mutual respect and trust; support each other; celebrate wins; and prefer progress over perfection. Primarily, we're responsible for designing, building, and supporting the Treasury Management System which settles internal money movements automatically and stores those funds redundantly, in an accurate, transparent, traceable and scalable way.
