Mobile Engineering Manager

The Team

The Cash App Trust organization exists to build trust and expand access in Cash App’s Ecosystem. We are only successful as a business if our customers feel secure and trust us with their money, and so we take it as a duty to be worthy of that trust. In line with Cash App and Block’s mission of Economic Empowerment, we want to expand access to the banking system so that people who are normally locked out have access to powerful wealth building tools. The healthy tension between these two goals is where we live and thrive.

The Job

As part of the Mobile engineering team for Cash App Trust Client, you'll provide Cash App customers reliable, easy, and secure access to their accounts. As the Engineering Manager for the Identity and Transfers team, you will be personally responsible for the growth of the mobile engineers on this team; collaborating with your fellow product, design, and server partners on decisions that will directly impact this product; looking out at new technologies and evaluating how they could positively impact the way our customers interact with Cash App everywhere. Identity owns Identity Verification (through electronic or document upload), Product Limits and Eligibility, Source of Wealth and Source of Funds, and Transfers owns moving money in and out of Cash App. More broadly, Trust owns login, signup, account security, account controls and scam protection among other areas. These experiences and platforms are pivotal to Cash App customers as we strive towards economic empowerment.

You will:

• Manage and grow a team of product-focused mobile engineers.
• Foster a human-centered culture that supports the team in growing together.
• Provide both technical and career guidance for individuals and managers on your team.
