  • Full-time

Company Description

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 app, bringing a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our millions of monthly active users. With a mission to redefine the world's relationship with money by making it more relatable, instantly available and universally accessible, at Cash App you'll have the opportunity to make a real-world impact with your career.

Today, Cash App has thousands of employees around the world with a culture geared toward creativity, collaboration and impact. We’ve been a distributed team since day one, and continue to value working across time zones and continents both remotely and in our Cash App offices.

Our offices are great, but many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Block operates. We tailor our experience to champion our employees’ creativity and productivity wherever they are.

Job Description

Cash App’s Financial Platform engineering org is building the core set of primitives that provide access to the underlying infrastructure that powers finance around the world.  One of the fundamental functions we provide is physical card fulfillment at scale.

Physical card issuance is core to any card program. Taking millions of orders, routing them throughout the fulfillment network and then managing them as they go via our delivery partners to be delivered to our customer’s doors as soon as possible is no small feat. 

We strive to think outside the box and bring true innovation to the table so we can not only be the quickest but the largest card fulfillment network ever.
We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to work alongside and lead an established team of engineers. If the description of a Team Lead EM resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you.

  • Lead and participate in critical technical, strategic and operational discussions with leaders across the organization, company and external partners.
  • Foster ownership, inclusiveness, accountability, pragmatism, and urgency in the team.
