Cash App’s Financial Platform 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. 

About the teams that are hiring in the US & Canada on Financial Platform:

Treasury:  The Treasury team owns the core ledger that powers Cash App, and are responsible for managing the money represented by that ledger. We provide product teams with a highly scalable, reliable, real time ledgering product that is relied upon across all of Cash App. As a product platform team, we focus on providing accessible capabilities to Cash App product teams, and get to work closely with just about every Cash App product. We also have a strong platform infrastructure focus, and operate the ledger on top of a massive sharded database cluster (Vitess).

Transactional Health: We own the card platform that processes billions of card transactions and securely moves millions worth of funds across Cash and Square. We’re tightly-knit cross-functional team that values collaboration (solving problems together), ownership (being empowered to drive outcomes), inclusiveness (bias for listening, curiosity and asking questions) and celebrating each other’s wins. This focus has enabled us to move the needle on many important areas of our platform. This includes spearheading observability and SLOs across the org, rethinking how our services interact with each other, optimizing our card program and partnering with product teams across Cash and Square to develop new capabilities that enable magical user-experiences that our customers love – at scale.
