Job description

Overview

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 evolved into a dynamic ecosystem with products including Afterpay/Clearpay, to help people send, spend, invest, borrow and save. We aim to redefine the world's relationship with money to be more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible. Today, Cash App has thousands of employees globally, with office and remote locations. We support remote work where Cash App operates, and tailor experiences to keep employees creative, productive, and happy.

The Team: The Cash App Consumer Platform lays the foundation that every Cash App engineer builds on. We own shared systems, abstractions, and tooling that power product development across the app. We sit at the product platform layer, enabling feature development. Our customers are the engineers and teams building Cash App's product experiences, and we measure success by velocity and quality.

As AI reshapes software engineering, Cash’s Consumer Platform is positioned to define what AI-native development looks like at Cash App and Block, by embedding AI-powered capabilities into the platform and by establishing practices that help engineers leverage AI effectively daily.

The Job

As a Staff Android Engineer on Cash App Consumer Platform, you are a multiplier for the entire client engineering discipline. You think in systems. You spot problems before they have names. You create platforms and patterns that make the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard. You operate at an organizational scope. Your work shapes how hundreds of Builders build and how millions of customers experience Cash App. You don’t wait to be handed a problem — you identify what needs to exist, build the case for it, and lead the work to completion. You bring deep Android expertise and a conviction that AI is a transformative force in how we build software, and you act accordingly. This role reports to the Cash App Product Platform Lead.
