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 ecosystem, developing unique financial products, including Afterpay/Clearpay, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 50+ million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world’s relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.
Today, Cash App has thousands of employees working globally across office and remote locations, with a culture geared toward innovation, collaboration and impact. We’ve been a distributed team since day one, and many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Cash App operates. No matter the location, we tailor our experience to ensure our employees are creative, productive, and happy.
The Role
The Cash App Business team is on a mission to make Cash App the easiest way for anyone to become a mobile seller. Our sellers, affectionately called nanosellers, are at the very start of their entrepreneurial journey—testing the waters, honing their craft, and steadily building their dreams. This term ‘nanoseller’ captures the essence of their aspirations and the unique challenges they face, reminding us of the transformative role we play in their growth.

- Empower millions of nanosellers to take their first steps, gain confidence, expand their networks, and flourish in their businesses.
- Process billions of dollars in transactions, making money instantly available.
- Foster trust through the KYB (Know Your Business) program, ensuring nanosellers are legitimate.
