Job Description:
Block has provided over $200 billion in credit to customers globally. Afterpay and Cash App Borrow are our two largest products in this space, expanding access to credit for consumers who are often underserved by traditional financial systems. Machine learning is the core of how these products work. Our models decide who gets credit, how much, and under what terms. They underwrite customers across a wide range of credit profiles, including many with thin or no traditional credit history. The modeling challenges are real: maintaining calibration across diverse borrower populations, designing features that generalize as the portfolio grows, and balancing approval rates against loss performance at every decision point. This requires strong fundamentals, disciplined experimentation, and continuous evaluation in production. On the Credit Modeling team, you will be a senior individual contributor building and evolving the ML systems behind these products. You will work across the full modeling lifecycle: problem formulation, feature development, training, calibration, experimentation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration. You will operate across two distinct lending products with different borrower populations, repayment structures, and regulatory surfaces. We use agentic engineering and AI tooling to build reliable, high-velocity workflows that enable this work. That includes code generation, automated testing, documentation, and developer tooling. You will help define how these practices scale across the team in ways that are rigorous, auditable, and trusted. This is a team that values high output and rigor. We move fast, we test carefully, and we hold our work to a high standard because the models we build determine real credit outcomes for real people.
