Engineering Manager - Finance & Supply Chain Engineering

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. Block’s Business Platform Engineering organization powers the foundational systems that support financial operations across Square, Cash App, TIDAL, and Proto. We are building the next generation of financial and supply chain infrastructure that enables accurate reporting, operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and strategic decision-making across Block.
As an Engineering Manager in Finance & Supply Chain Engineering, you will lead a team of engineers building mission-critical systems across areas such as Record-to-Report automation, financial planning and forecasting, tax and regulatory reporting, and supply chain planning and execution.
This is a unique opportunity to help shape a mostly greenfield team and platform from the ground up. You will help build agentic systems that run the business — systems that automate workflows, reason across financial and operational data, assist decision-making, and make critical business processes more efficient, reliable, and scalable.
You will have influence across the full spectrum: team culture, engineering practices, technical strategy, product direction, architecture, and implementation. You will be responsible for building and supporting a high-performing engineering team, shaping technical strategy, partnering closely with Finance, Accounting, Tax, Compliance, Product, and Operations stakeholders, and ensuring the team delivers reliable, scalable, and well-governed systems.
