Job Description

Block builds simple, powerful tools that make progress towards an economy that’s truly open to all. Each of our brands unlocks different aspects of the economy for more people. Square makes commerce and financial services accessible to sellers. Cash App is the easy way to spend, send, and store money. Afterpay is transforming the way customers manage their spending over time. TIDAL is a music platform that empowers artists to thrive as entrepreneurs. Bitkey is a simple self-custody wallet built for bitcoin. Proto is a suite of bitcoin mining products and services. Together, we’re helping build a financial system that is open to everyone. Join us. The Role We’re hiring Senior and Staff Machine Learning Engineers to join Block’s Risk Machine Learning organization, where teams apply ML at massive scale to detect, prevent, and reduce fraud and abuse across Cash App and Square. This opening supports multiple senior-level roles, with team placement determined through a collaborative matching process based on your experience, interests, and current business needs. Today, we’re growing teams focused fraud & abuse prevention, merchant risk, credit underwriting (consumer & commercial lending), buy-now-pay-later decisioning, AI-powered customer support & conversational AI, agentic automation for investigations, and model risk governance. We'd love to hear from you whether your background is in adversarial ML, NLP/LLMs, credit modeling, or model validation. Across teams, your work will directly protect our ecosystem, reduce financial loss, and enable safe, seamless financial experiences for millions of customers, sellers, and families.

Job Responsibility

  • Lead technical decision-making within your workstreams and influence ML strategy and planning
  • Build tooling and processes that improve the speed, reliability, and impact of the ML development lifecycle
  • Apply state-of-the-art modeling techniques and third-party data sources to improve detection and decision-making
  • Investigate emerging fraud, abuse, and risk patterns to proactively inform product safeguards and policy
  • Collaborate closely with ML platform and engineering teams to ensure models operate reliably in real time and at scale

Requirements

  • 8+ years of industry experience in machine learning, applied AI, or related fields
  • Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Physics, Applied Math)
  • Master’s or PhD preferred
  • Proven experience independently designing, deploying, and maintaining ML solutions in production
  • Strong familiarity with techniques such as tree-based models, deep learning, transfer learning, or reinforcement learning
  • Experience influencing technical direction and collaborating with cross-functional partners at scale
  • Strong communication skills, sound judgment, and an ownership mindset
  • Curiosity and alignment with Block’s mission of economic empowerment

Requirements
  • A quantitative degree or equivalent experience, and senior-IC depth building or validating models in a high-stakes domain such as credit, fraud, or financial crime
  • Command of effective-challenge methodology: reproduction, conceptual-soundness review, benchmarking, stress testing, and outcomes analysis, with an eye for how a model holds up after launch and where its assumptions break
  • Deep applied ML and statistics across model families, from regression and tree ensembles to deep learning, with sound judgment about evaluation, calibration, and generalization
  • Experimentation and statistical rigor: holdout and experiment design, reasoning about uncertainty, and evaluating a model beyond aggregate accuracy
  • Solid software and data engineering: production-quality Python, SQL on large datasets, and reproducible, tested code
  • Fluency with modern AI: building with LLMs and agentic tools, and the judgment to know when their output can be trusted
  • Familiarity with model risk management frameworks and fair-lending standards, with the specifics learnable on the job
  • The communication to explain and defend your conclusions to model owners and senior stakeholders, and the independence to operate under ambiguity
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Independently challenge model owners across lending, fraud, and AML: reproduce their results, set and defend the acceptance thresholds, and own the call on whether a model is sound
  • Hunt the silent errors that make metrics lie, and prove them out before they reach production
  • Choose evaluation that holds up under real conditions: rare events, shifting populations, and drift that only shows up after launch
  • Work hands-on in codebases you did not write, learning the data, configs, and conventions, and ship production code in the tooling you build to validate them
  • Build the agentic validation tooling the team depends on, orchestrating agents that run in parallel
  • Reason about ML systems end to end — how features, training, serving, monitoring, and scale fit together — to evaluate and challenge an owner's design
  • Tie explainability and fair-lending findings on consumer credit models back to the model and product decisions that follow
  • Help define how Block validates the systems at the frontier of production AI, setting standards where none exist yet
