Software Engineer, Incentive

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 47 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 Cash Commerce Incentive team is in charge of building and innovating on Cash App Card and Cash App Pay offers, and other reward programs. We see a powerful opportunity to create a flywheel where we connect Square, AfterPay, and Cash App’s rich networks of sellers and businesses to Cash App’s 53+ million active customers. This is a powerful connective tissue between Jack Dorsey’s Ecosystems being built within Block.

Our first product is the beloved Cash App Boost program that rewards consumers when they make purchases in our network of merchants using the wildly popular Cash Card and other payment methods. There are many challenging problems innovating and scaling this product out.

With the acquisition of AfterPay, our network, capabilities and opportunities expand, and the team is in charge of inventing the future of connecting sellers and buyers together. What products can we imagine that take advantage of our huge network of consumers? How do we take advantage of our local networks? How do we create ROI for merchants in ways that weren’t possible before?
