We want to make the world’s relationship with money more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.
The Role

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/Clearpay, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 50+ million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world's relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.
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.
The Team
Do you love building both software and teams? Do you care about engineering culture? Cash App is looking for a technical & people leader to help lead & grow our Ledgering team within the Financial Platform engineering org.
Cash App's Financial Platform engineering org is building the core set of capabilities that provide access to the underlying infrastructure that powers finance around the globe. One of the fundamental functions we provide is Ledgering, responsible for providing a highly scalable, reliable and accessible real-time ledgering capability.
The Ledgering team owns the past, present and future of ledgering at Cash App. This is one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure supporting Cash App; if the ledger goes down, Cash App goes with it! However, the ledger is also one of the first services developed at Cash App, and no longer meets the needs of the breadth of features in Cash App. This is a challenging role with lots of opportunity; you'll get to drive forward the future of ledgering at cash, leading an autonomous engineering team to solve high impact problems.
We strive to build innovative and valuable solutions by growing diverse teams of people who care about what they do. Ledgering is an inclusive and balanced engineering team, with a safe team environment enabling people to 'just work'.
The Role
As an Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for technical architecture, ensuring collaboration across a multitude of disciplines, and providing coaching and mentorship to your team and peers. You will drive the team's vision and roadmap alongside product management, designers, and the Cash App leadership team.
You Will:

  • Build a world-class team by hiring exceptional talent, coaching and developing engineers, cultivating pragmatic engineering decision-making, and leveraging your technical expertise to constantly raise the bar.
  • Partner closely with stakeholders across the Product Engineering and FinPlat orgs to thoroughly understand your customer's needs, and help define your team's vision and roadmap.
  • Lead and participate in critical strategic, technical and operational discussions with leaders across the organization, company and external partners.
  • Foster inclusiveness, trust, work-life balance, ownership, accountability, pragmatism, and decision making in the team.
  • Define your team's vision and roadmap by thoroughly understanding your customers' needs in collaboration with product management, business operations, data, and adjacent engineering teams
  • Work within a globally distributed organization, with engineers in the United States, Australia, and across Europe


We Value Managers Who:

  • Have 4+ years experience in leading teams of engineers, in both a technical and people management capacity
  • Have 10+ years experience working on complex systems and delivering quality software
  • Lead with a people-first approach, can lead a conversation rather than dictate it, and are empathetic to dissenting viewpoints
  • Have boundless curiosity, are driven by what they don't know and thrive in ambiguous environments.
  • Excel at building world class engineering teams that are highly-functional, collaborative and inclusive.
  • Build strong relationships with counterparts, both internally and externally, including finance, business operations and risk operations.


Technologies We Use and Teach:

  • Java, Kotlin
  • JUnit, Hibernate, Guice
  • HTTP, JSON, gRPC, and Protocol Buffers
  • MySQL, Vitess
  • Datadog
  • Amazon Web Services
  • Kafka and event-driven architecture

Laurence
Bitcoin Operations Lead
“I’ve always believed that the future of work is remote, and I think that being distributed is something that all organizations will embrace moving forward. I treasure that flexibility. My mornings are dedicated to family - my wife and 6 month old baby – and afternoons and evenings are for working. This works really well for me.“
