Cash App is the fastest growing financial brand in the world. 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 money app with over 24 million active monthly users. 

Loved by customers and by pop culture, we’ve held the #1 spot in finance on the App Store for almost two years, and our social media posts see more engagement in a day than most financial brands see in a year. 

With major offices in San Francisco, New York, St. Louis, Portland, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Melbourne, Cash App is bringing a better way to send, spend, and save to anyone who has ever sought an alternative to today’s banking system.

Cash App is a mobile-first bank that ranks in the top 10 free apps in the app store with a rapidly growing user base and feature set. Our mission is to provide banking services to all, in particular those that are underserved. Cash is built as a service mesh, communicating via synchronous APIs as well as asynchronous events, built on AWS and Kubernetes. The Platform team is responsible for the mission-critical fabric that these services run on, and provides service discovery, routing, self-healing, and observability features that product teams use to operate their systems on Cash’s platform.

The Cash Security team is a hands-on engineering-driven security team that embeds security engineers within key platform and product teams across Cash. As a security team, we collaborate on building and sharing security infrastructure, design patterns, and guidelines.

As a Cash Security Engineer embedded in Cash Platform’s engineering team, you’ll work within and across Cash Platform’s engineering team to:

• Co-design, co-build, and co-own the security hardening, mechanisms, and features of our production platform across deploy, storage, traffic, and developer velocity.
• Design, apply, and develop cryptographic layers to provide “zero-trust” security properties for multi-tenant separation within shared infrastructure systems
• Evaluate the security properties and risks of 3rd-party systems and services that we would integrate into our cloud environment to advise the Cash Platform team of the trade-offs
• Help the engineers around you level-up on their own security reasoning and knowledge
• Work with bleeding edge cloud technology

You have:

• A strong motivation to contribute to a meaningful product that will fundamentally change the way people interact with financial institutions.
• Strong desire to perform and grow as a security engineer and educate other engineers
• Demonstrated technical initiative and leadership

Technologies we use and teach:

• AWS KMS and Google’s Tink Cryptographic APIs
• Go, Terraform, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes
• gRPC, Envoy
• SignalFx, DataDog, Jaeger, Prometheus
