Software Engineer, Cash App Banking

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.

At Cash App, we strive to build the best consumer financial products in the world. The Cash App Banking team aspires to make Cash App the primary place for our customers to store, manage, and move money across all their banking needs. We achieve this by providing various offerings including a range of deposit and transfer options, savings and automation tools, and a suite of benefits for Banking customers, all while ensuring a fast and reliable experience.
