Job Description

Cash App has grown rapidly to tens of millions of users moving billions of dollars daily. To support this incredible growth, we are building out the Access organization. Our mission is to maximize trust and expand access to our ecosystem, ensuring that every user feels safe and secure while using our platform. We play a critical role in providing financial access to customers who are underserved by traditional financial institutions, and we are committed to creating a seamless and secure user experience.

The team builds tools to collect fraudulent signals, detect fraud patterns, and automatically mitigate attacks. We provide security features and assets to protect customer accounts.

Account Foundations: The Account Foundations team focuses on evolving our account model and account holder structure, fosters coherent relationship modeling between them and enables seamless access management.
