We are open to hiring in multiple locations within the US & Canada.

Cash App is the fastest growing financial brand in the world. 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 app with over 30 million monthly active users. We are bringing a better way to send, spend, invest, and save to anyone who has ever sought an alternative to the traditional banking system.

Loved by customers and pop culture, we’ve consistently held the top spot for finance in the App Store for many years, seeing more engagement with millions of followers across social media in a day than most brands see in a year. We are building an ecosystem to redefine the world’s relationship with money by making it universally accessible. 

We want to hire the best talent regardless of location. Our employment model is distributed, offering the opportunity to collaborate with teams across the world in San Francisco, New York, St. Louis, Portland, Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo, Sydney, and Melbourne. 

The Payment Platform team builds and maintains the software and services at the heart of Cash App - we own the platform that makes everything else possible. On this team, you’ll build software that helps us move money quickly and securely. You’ll work with product managers and other teams to design, implement and tweak features that make our platform the best.

• Develop native Cash App payment features, scale systems to our growing customer base and test everything extensively
• Work with our team to help recruit candidates, organize external recruiting/networking activities, present externally and more
• Work with a team in the east coast time zone, so candidates in east coast/central time zones are preferred

You have:

• Enthusiasm for multiple technical areas
• A preference to work on large backend services driving hugely popular software
• Curiosity that pushes you to find flaws in an intricate system and take whatever steps are necessary to fix them
• Taken technical initiative on previous projects
• Made contributions to the architecture and design of complex systems
