Product Lead, Access and Security

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 Role

As a Product Lead on the Access team, you will own core Cash App account and access primitives including sign-up, login, and security features. These are foundational platform services that not only enable access to Cash App products but also support consumer workflows across Block. You will be responsible for the team’s vision, platform strategy, roadmap prioritization, and customer and business impact and will drive high-impact initiatives from inception through execution.  This role will require a platform focus to optimize and expand on current features through customer research, analysis, experimentation, and product validation, as well as the creativity to dream up and build new features to improve our user experience to expand financial access to millions of customers around the world.
