About Trust
Cash App has grown rapidly to 70+ million users moving billions of dollars daily. To support this, we are building out Trust - a new Platform organization responsible for product experiences aimed at promoting the health of the increasingly complex Cash App ecosystem.

We thrive on diverse perspectives, innovative thinking, a willingness to dive deep, and a readiness to work collaboratively across many disciplines (including product, design, operations, legal, data science and ML).
