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.
At Block, we strive to build the best products in the world, including the ones our customers never see. The Compliance Program Engineering team builds the core infrastructure that supports Block's compliance program and the product teams that depend on it. When Block needs to meet a regulatory obligation, the investigators, analysts, and automated systems doing that work rely on our platforms to understand what is happening across Block's ecosystem and act on it.
We focus on two areas:
1) Unified transaction store and search. Transactions are one of the most important building blocks at Block. We bring transaction data from across Block's products into one place and make it easy to understand, search, and use. This helps the business stay compliant and supports new product use cases. We're investing in data coverage, quality, and usability, and in self-serve tools that make it simple for new product types to onboard.
2) Entity labeling, ingestion, and workflow. We give teams a flexible way to label any entity at Block, such as a customer, account, or transaction, without cluttering core data models. Those labels can trigger downstream effects, so teams can build complex workflows on top of them. Labels can be applied through simple self-serve tools or through high-volume bulk ingestion at scale, which makes automation possible.
As a full stack software engineer on Compliance Program Engineering, you'll design, build, and operate these platforms. We work with an incubator mindset: we start small, prove value quickly, scale what works, and hand mature solutions to a dedicated team. You'll balance delivering value today with building foundations that last. Where business units have similar needs, you'll help them share the same systems so every team can move faster.
