Compensation$120K - 160K a year

Build operating metrics, planning processes, and capacity models for global seller onboarding while standardizing workflows and using AI-enabled tools to improve efficiency and outcomes. | Requires 8–12+ years in operations, strategy, or workforce planning, strong analytical and project management skills, KPI and financial modeling experience, and a bachelor’s or postgraduate degree. | Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together. So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale. Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same. About the Role Square is looking for an experienced operations excellence and business operations leader to build the operating system for global seller onboarding. Reporting to the Head of Global Onboarding Operations, this role will create the metrics, planning processes, reporting cadences, capacity models, and continuous improvement mechanisms that help the onboarding organization scale with discipline. This role closely partners with Onboarding Operational leaders and is designed to create leverage across the full organization. The right candidate is highly analytical, structured, and action-oriented, with the ability to turn operational complexity into clear plans, dashboards, routines, and recommendations. What You Will Own Operating Cadence and Business Management Build and run the core operating cadence for global onboarding, including weekly, monthly, and quarterly business reviews. Create consistent reporting, decision forums, action tracking, and escalation mechanisms across regions and operating models. Partner with leaders to turn strategic priorities into measurable plans, milestones, and execution routines. Own the global onboarding KPI framework, including activation, time-to-value, NPS, cost-to-serve, SLA adherence, utilization, and quality. Planning, Capacity, and Financial Support Lead capacity planning and workforce modeling across first-party, vendor, and BPO delivery motions in partnership with regional and partner operations leaders. Partner with Finance on budget inputs, forecasts, headcount planning, vendor spend analysis, cost-to-serve models, and ROI assessments. Support annual and quarterly planning by translating volume, productivity, service quality, and cost assumptions into operational plans. Process Improvement and Standardization Identify friction in onboarding workflows, handoffs, tooling, data quality, and escalation processes. Drive process standardization, playbook development, documentation, and continuous improvement initiatives across regions. Partner with Product, Enablement, Analytics, and Operations teams to improve systems, automation, and operational effectiveness. AI Leadership Drive the adoption of AI-enabled workflows across the onboarding organization by identifying high-impact use cases, standardizing best practices, and helping teams apply AI to improve quality, speed, consistency, and operational efficiency. Build playbooks, training materials, and operating routines that help onboarding teams use AI effectively for tasks such as knowledge management, call/document summarization, process adherence, quality review, performance insights, and frontline enablement. Measure the impact of AI-enabled improvements on onboarding outcomes, including time-to-value, cost-to-serve, team productivity, seller experience, quality, and consistency; use findings to scale what works across regions and delivery models. What We Are Looking For 8+ years of relevant experience with a Master’s degree, 12+ years with a Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent experience in operations, business operations, strategy and operations, workforce planning, analytics, or operational excellence. Experience building operating cadences, dashboards, planning processes, KPI frameworks, and performance management routines. Strong analytical skills and comfort working with operational, financial, workforce, and performance data. Experience with capacity planning, forecasting, budget inputs, cost-to-serve analysis, or vendor spend analysis. Ability to manage complex cross-functional projects independently while aligning with senior leaders on objectives and decisions. Strong process improvement mindset, with experience standardizing workflows and driving measurable operational impact. Excellent communication skills, including the ability to turn ambiguous problems into clear plans, tradeoffs, and recommendations. Experience in fintech, commerce, SaaS implementation, customer operations, field operations, or scaled services delivery preferred. Experience improving workflows and customer outcomes using AI Why This Role Matters As the global onboarding organization scales, strong execution requires more than local management. This role creates the connective tissue across the organization: the metrics, planning discipline, insights, and routines that help leaders make better decisions and teams improve faster. By strengthening the operating system, this role improves seller outcomes, team accountability, and the scalability of Square’s onboarding model.

Compensation$70K - 120K a year

Instrument telemetry, build data pipelines, define metrics, and create executive dashboards to improve AI ROI and developer productivity. | 8+ years in analytics or data engineering with strong SQL, Python, Snowflake, telemetry, dashboard, Git, and CI/CD experience. | 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 The AI & DX (Developer Experience) Analytics team exists to measure and improve Block's developer experience and investment in AI. We turn raw engineering signals (agent session data, pull request and CI activity, and AI spend) into reporting and analysis that shape leadership's AI investment decisions, and drive improvement in AI ROI and developer experience. Your work will be the trusted source of truth that engineers and executives use to decide where AI investment is working and where to redirect it. We're hiring a Senior Analytics Engineer to own parts of that pipeline end to end. This is a broad, high-visibility role with a lot of white space: you will instrument new telemetry at the source and build production pipelines that turn it into governed data, then turn that governed data into executive-facing reporting and the analysis that surfaces concrete opportunities to improve AI ROI and developer experience. You'll also help pioneer one of the most consequential open problems in the industry right now: measuring the productivity impact of an increasingly AI- and agent-augmented engineering workforce, where there is no textbook answer and real room to set the standard. You'll define new metrics and craft the visual narrative — the charts, dashboards, and presentation materials — that make them land with an executive audience. AI-first workflows are central to how this team operates and critical to succeeding in this role: using AI coding agents is a default part of how you build and maintain pipelines and dashboards. You'll excel in this role if you're as comfortable defining and visualizing a brand new executive-facing metric from a messy signal as you are debugging why a pipeline silently stalled overnight. You Will Instrumentation & Telemetry: Instrument and extend the raw telemetry captured about AI usage, code changes, CI/CD activity, and spend — building new data capture, not only transforming what already exists. This is core to the role, as evolving AI tools and increased AI adoption constantly creates new signals that need to be captured. Partner with data engineers on production ETL pipelines that land that telemetry into governed tables, with the freshness monitoring, backfills, and alerting that keep it trustworthy, rather than a one-off script. Define new metrics out of ambiguous or evolving signals, and earn stakeholder trust in a new number by validating and reconciling it until it holds up. Dashboards & analysis: Build and ship the executive-facing dashboards and visualizations that turn governed metrics into decision-ready reporting — with the polish and precision a room of executives will scrutinize. Run the analysis that a new chart or metric needs and anticipate questions that an executive audience will ask, then bring senior stakeholders a recommendation, not just a number, and defend the methodology behind both. Translate complex, technical findings into a clear narrative: the headline chart and the one sentence that makes an executive act on it. Across both: Use AI coding agents as a default part of how you write, test, and maintain data pipelines, dashboards, and analyses. Partner across data engineering, applied AI, and data science teams to keep telemetry connected end to end — the raw signal you capture directly feeds the session classifiers, not just the dashboards you build. Turn what the data shows into action: flag where AI spend isn't paying off or where developer friction is most costly, and push the tooling, process, or investment changes that address it. Push the industry-frontier work of quantifying AI and agent productivity impact — there's no established playbook, and this team sets one. Qualifications You are: Self-sufficient across the full analytics loop: instrumentation, pipeline building, metric definition, and dashboards — not someone who hands off past the query. At home in messy, evolving telemetry, with the judgment to know when a new number is right and when it needs a second look before an executive sees it. A strong product thinker: you get at what a stakeholder actually needs from a metric or chart, not just what they asked for. Comfortable with ambiguity on a genuinely unsolved problem — measuring AI/agent productivity impact — and motivated to go set the standard rather than wait for one. An exceptional communicator, able to defend a metric's methodology and a chart's framing directly to senior stakeholders. Thoughtful about using AI coding agents in your own craft: fast to build with them, and rigorous about evaluating what they produce rather than taking it on faith. You have: 8+ years in analytics engineering, data engineering, or business intelligence, owning production data pipelines and insights end to end. Strong SQL and Python, with hands-on experience building and operating data pipelines against a cloud data warehouse such as Snowflake. Experience partnering with engineering teams to instrument new event or telemetry data, not only transforming what's already captured. Experience building dashboards or internal tools that non-technical stakeholders rely on to make decisions. Comfort with git, CI/CD systems, and debugging production pipeline failures such as retries and backfills. Even better: Experience with a metrics-governance or semantic-layer system, such as a metrics store, dbt semantic layer, or LookML. Technologies we use and teach: SQL (Snowflake), Python, TypeScript and React, Git, CI/CD pipelines, a governed metrics store, AI coding agents, and LLM-based classification tooling.

Compensation$55K - 90K a year

Manage B2B content calendar and develop social-first content to increase visibility while collaborating cross-functionally. | 6+ years in B2B content or integrated marketing with strong project management and AI tool experience. | Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together. So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale. Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same. The Role Square is looking for a B2B Marketing Manager, Social Content to help build our always-on content engine for our B2B audience. This role sits on the Integrated Marketing team and will focus on content programs that increase Square’s visibility and relevance across priority industries, verticals, and category conversations.

You’ll work closely with Brand, Partner Marketing, Creative, Communications, Sales, Social, and other cross-functional teams to develop content that supports Square’s B2B marketing priorities. This role is a good fit for someone who can take inputs from customers, sales, product marketing, and industry conversations and turn them into clear content concepts, formats, and campaigns. We’re looking for someone who can connect the dots across business priorities, audience insights, and content opportunities, then help bring those ideas to market through clear briefs, strong production workflows, and thoughtful use of AI tools. You Will Build and manage an always-on B2B content calendar across priority themes, verticals, campaigns, and moments. Develop social-first content formats and original content franchises that make Square more visible and relevant in key categories. Create content programs that bring Square’s industry POV, customer stories, partner stories, product narratives, and market insights to life. Identify opportunities to tell stronger stories across priority verticals, including restaurants, retail, services, and other key business categories. Develop thought leadership content that helps Square participate in timely industry and business conversations. Support customer storytelling and case study efforts by shaping strong story angles and adapting them into social-first formats. Translate business priorities into clear content concepts, briefs, series, and distribution plans. Use AI tools and workflows to support content development, including research, ideation, content mapping, repurposing, versioning, briefing, and production planning. Build repeatable AI-assisted workflows that help the team move from insight to content more efficiently while maintaining accuracy, brand quality, and human judgment. Partner with Partner Marketing, Sales, Comms, Creative, Brand, and Social to identify moments, shape narratives, and produce content. Manage content production workflows from concept through launch, including briefs, timelines, stakeholder inputs, approvals, and delivery. Work with internal creative teams, external partners, freelancers, or agencies to produce high-quality content efficiently. Track performance across content and social channels, and use insights to refine topics, formats, messaging, and distribution over time. You Have 6+ years of experience developing B2B content, social content, integrated campaigns, thought leadership, or content marketing programs. A strong understanding of social-first content, especially for LinkedIn and other platforms where business audiences spend time. Experience turning complex business topics into clear, compelling content for professional audiences. Strong instincts for content formats, storytelling, hooks, pacing, and audience relevance. Experience building or managing content calendars, campaigns, series, or always-on programming. Experience using AI tools to improve content workflows, speed up content development, or scale content across formats and channels. Strong judgment around where AI can add leverage and where human strategy, creativity, taste, and review are essential. Strong project management skills, with the ability to move work from idea to brief to execution. Experience working cross-functionally with marketing, creative, communications, sales, product, or external partners. Good judgment around brand voice, accuracy, approvals, and business context. Comfort balancing proactive content development with incoming business needs in a lean, fast-moving environment. Bonus Experience in B2B technology, fintech, commerce, SaaS, restaurants, retail, services, or another business-focused category. Experience developing executive thought leadership, industry POV content, category campaigns, or recurring content series.

View Job
Compensation$85K - 150K a year

Design and operate high-volume distributed systems and lead projects while mentoring engineers and collaborating with stakeholders. | Minimum 8 years experience in fault-tolerant distributed services and financial systems with proficiency in Java, Kotlin, or Go and strong SQL skills. | 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 Role Ledgering is the accounting core that other teams at Block build on. We keep the authoritative records of balances for Square and Cash App, along with the transactions and settlement that move that money. As a Senior Software Engineer on the team, you will build and operate the systems of record for balances and transactions, the settlement orchestration that decides how sellers and customers get paid, and the automated treasury systems that position Block's own cash. At Block's transaction volume, this work has direct, measurable impact on financial accuracy and on the trust merchants and customers place in us. You Will Design, build, and operate the balance and transaction systems of record that serve as the financial source of truth for millions of merchants and customers. Build settlement orchestration that determines how account holders get paid: schedules, amounts, deposit methods, and withholdings. Develop self-serve ledgering APIs with durable semantics and clear contracts, so partner teams can stand up a new balance or transaction type in about a day instead of waiting weeks on custom integration work. Emit balance and settlement data that downstream finance, reconciliation, and reporting teams can trust, against agreed data contracts. Design and implement reliable, high-volume distributed transaction-processing systems, making thoughtful tradeoffs between consistency and availability when both are not possible. Drive convergence across a large portfolio of financial services: consistent transaction and balance models, shared workflow tooling, and predictable integration patterns. Operate tier-0 and tier-1 financial systems against published SLOs, and debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack in a high-reliability environment. Work AI-natively: use AI agents throughout the development lifecycle, and build agents and automation that reduce operational toil across our services. Lead complex projects end to end, breaking the work into components and milestones that other engineers can pick up. Mentor other engineers and contribute to the technical direction of the team. Work with engineers, product managers, and finance and treasury stakeholders across the company to ship new capabilities at scale. You Have A minimum of 8 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 6 years and a Master's degree; or a PhD with 3 years experience; or equivalent experience. Experience designing and operating distributed, high-throughput, fault-tolerant services, with a strong understanding of consistency, idempotency, and failure handling. Experience building money-movement systems such as ledgers, double-entry accounting, settlement, or treasury, or the curiosity and drive to build deep expertise in the domain. Proficiency in at least one major programming language (for example Java, Kotlin, or Go) and strong SQL. Experience leading complex, ambiguous projects across multiple engineering teams and driving clear next steps in areas without clear ownership. High standards for software architecture and engineering practices, including maintainable and testable code, CI/CD, and observability, in a complex, high-stakes financial environment. Proficiency in using AI tools throughout the software development lifecycle to improve engineering productivity, problem solving, and software delivery. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Technologies We Use and Teach Java, Kotlin, Python AI agents and tooling across the development lifecycle, including AMP, Codex, Claude, Goose and MCP Temporal, Protocol Buffers, jOOQ, GraphQL MySQL, Aurora, Vitess, Databricks, Snowflake AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog We’re working to build a more inclusive economy where our customers have equal access to opportunity, and we strive to live by these same values in building our workplace.
