Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Credit Products (Square Financial Services)

Block is one company built from many blocks, all united by the same purpose of economic empowerment. The blocks that form our foundational teams — People, Finance, Counsel, Hardware, Information Security, Platform Infrastructure Engineering, and more — provide support and guidance at the corporate level. They work across business groups and around the globe, spanning time zones and disciplines to develop inclusive People policies, forecast finances, give legal counsel, safeguard systems, nurture new initiatives, and more. Every challenge creates possibilities, and we need different perspectives to see them all. Bring yours to Block. The Credit and Lending team is responsible for the predictive intelligence that underpins Block's primary capital-intensive products. These products unlock unique access to credit for our customers, many of whom are otherwise underbanked and underserved by the traditional financial system. As a Machine Learning Engineer within Square Financial Services (SFS), you will occupy a high-leverage role at the intersection of regulated banking and advanced autonomous systems. This position requires full-stack ownership of the credit engine, from the curation of novel data signals to the implementation of the decisioning logic that drives Block's top-line growth. Our credit products are material drivers of the company's profitability and are frequently highlighted in executive reviews and quarterly earnings reports. We are seeking a scientifically-minded contributor capable of delivering extraordinary individual leverage to expand our underwriting capabilities into previously untapped segments through pragmatic policy evolution and advanced modeling techniques.
