Block is seeking a Compliance Technology Program Lead to ensure our Machine Learning and Heuristic detection models — and the data infrastructure that feeds them — are fit for purpose, for our fiat and virtual currency products. This role sits at the intersection of compliance, machine learning, and AI tooling: you will use modern intelligence tools, including Claude and other LLM-based agents, to automate significant portions of oversight, monitoring, and documentation work — turning a traditionally manual, documentation-heavy function into a scalable, defensible program. You will partner with Machine Learning, Engineering and BSA/AML Policy Teams to provide end-to-end technical oversight, effective challenge and ongoing monitoring throughout the model development lifecycle.
