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 We are looking for a Senior Corporate Security Engineer who will support Block's foundational teams (People, Finance, Legal, IT). To be successful, we need someone who can quickly digest new concepts, business requirements, and associated risks and can collaborate with their partner teams and with the security team to identify what risks we should accept, which we should mitigate, how, and why. This means broad security knowledge, an ability to gain technical depth quickly when necessary, and the soft skills (collaboration, ability to communicate security risks to non-engineers) and leadership required to effectively collaborate across many teams at once.
You Will Work directly with foundational teams to identify and manage risk across Block's corporate technology platforms.
Operate and evolve our workforce identity and security tooling.
Assist in the development of security policies, requirements, and guidelines to address corporate risk.
Provide architecture guidance to influence secure designs and roadmaps for effective risk management.
Build, develop and maintain new security solutions to protect Block.
You Have Experience with security engineering across a broad range of security domain areas including identity and access management, network security, endpoint security, and PKI.
Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (Python, Bash, Powershell, Golang, Java, etc.).
Experience deploying infrastructure as code using languages such as Terraform and CI/CD pipelines.
Strong collaboration and interpersonal skills.
Experience mentoring or leading a team of engineers will be highly valued.
Ideally You Have Experience working in a remote and distributed team environment.
Curiosity and interest in learning new technologies.
Previous experience with enterprise SaaS tools (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Workday, Salesforce, etc.).
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. Block is a proud equal opportunity employer. We work hard to evaluate all employees and job applicants consistently, without regard to identity or other legally protected class.
We believe in being fair, and are committed to an inclusive interview experience, including providing reasonable accommodations to disabled applicants throughout the recruitment process. We encourage applicants to share any needed accommodations with their recruiter, who will treat these requests as confidentially as possible.
Block is a globally distributed company, and this role will require working with other employees in multiple time zones. You may be required to perform work outside of normal business hours as part of this role.
Every benefit we offer is designed with one goal: empowering you to do the best work of your career while building the life you want.
