Software Engineer - Support ML, Cash App

  • Full-time

Company Description

It all started with an idea at Block in 2013. Initially built to take the pain out of peer-to-peer payments, Cash App has gone from a simple product with a single purpose to a dynamic app, bringing a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our millions of monthly active users. With a mission to redefine the world's relationship with money by making it more relatable, available and accessible, at Cash App you'll have the opportunity to make a real-world impact with your career.

Today, Cash App has thousands of employees around the world with a culture geared toward creativity, collaboration and impact. We’ve been a distributed team since day one, and continue to value working across time zones and continents both remotely and in our Cash App offices.

Our offices are great, but many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Block operates. We tailor our experience to champion our employees’ creativity and productivity wherever they are.

Job Description

The Support ML team aims to create better-than-human Customer Support experiences. Cash App holds people’s money, and building customers’ trust is absolutely essential to our brand. Providing fast and reliable help whenever the customer needs it is a major component of building that trust. 

What you’ll do:

  • Design, build and maintain Machine Learning systems that enable us to automatically solve customer problems in real-time

  • Work hand-in-hand with ML Modellers to identify and integrate new data sources, heuristics and models, allowing us to scale our customer support operations

  • Solve challenging technical problems at scale, collaborating with folks located here in Melbourne and across the globe

  • Own your solutions from design through to operation: we are all on the pager!

Qualifications

Prior experience or knowledge in Machine Learning is helpful but definitely not a prerequisite: if you are a solid software engineer then we are happy to train you up in the mysterious ways of ML!

We’re expecting you to have at least 3 years of industry experience, with a track record or desire to:

  • Work autonomously in a fast paced, ambiguous and unpredictable environment

  • Be naturally curious & eager to learn

  • Work creatively, taking the initiative and leading when required

  • Grow your solutions, fixing them as necessary

  • Communicate via clear and concise writing to facilitate collaboration across multiple time zones

  • Reason about complex, distributed systems at high scale within a mixed ecosystem of sync, async, RPC and event-driven architectures
