Job Description
The Financial Crimes Technology team at Cash App detects and reports illegal and suspicious activity on Cash App. We work globally with partners in Product, Counsel and Engineering to ensure that we are providing a safe user experience for our customers while minimizing or eliminating bad activity on our platform.

Our systems block payments in real-time where appropriate. Additionally, we use generative AI technologies to improve agent workflow and case review tools, by adding features that accelerate agent productivity and allow them to make more informed and accurate decisions.
This is an IC role, but the senior level has leadership responsibilities including leading strategic roadmaps and priorities to completion by collaborating with relevant cross functional stakeholders.

Build classification models to detect illegal use of the app across the peer-to-peer, banking, card, equities and bitcoin products
Leverage diverse data sets including payment transactions, connected users and asset graphs, unstructured text data and user profile information to build ML and generative AI models.
