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, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 47 million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world’s relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible. This is our mission, and it’s why working at Cash App means so much more than a job.

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.

Cash Security makes protecting data easy by building self-service APIs and governance frameworks. We collaborate with platform and product development teams across the Cash ecosystem to help them autonomously understand how to meet governance requirements, protect against malicious attacks, respect our customers’ privacy, and ultimately maintain trust. We provide guidance to our stakeholder teams around compliance, privacy, and security in order to help them confidently manage these risks within their domains while ensuring that their decisions do not have broader downsides.

On Cash Product Security, we believe that security is the responsibility of everyone, especially those who ship product solutions. We work closely with the product engineering organization to enable teams to make great security decisions on behalf of their customers. The Data Safety sub-team focuses on protecting Cash App’s most important asset: our customers’ data. We work across Cash and the Block enterprise to identify, measure and reduce risk related to handling consumer data.
