About this role
## The Team Bitcoin at Block builds products and platforms that help make bitcoin, stablecoins, and non-custodial wallets accessible to people around the world. We work across Cash App, Square, and Bitkey to create secure, reliable, high-quality mobile and hardware experiences used by millions of people. We’re looking for an iOS engineer who loves building products and can move quickly through unfamiliar problems. You’ll work closely with product, design, and engineering partners to turn complex financial capabilities into clear, reliable customer experiences. ## The Role As a **Staff iOS Engineer on Bitcoin**, you will own the technical direction and delivery of a critical area of our iOS product experience with bitcoin and stablecoin. This is a hands-on role: you’ll prototype new ideas, make architectural decisions, write production code, and lead work through launch and ongoing improvement. You’ll align product requirements with backend capabilities, resolve dependencies with partner teams, and make tradeoffs across customer experience, delivery speed, security, and reliability. You’ll personally tackle the hardest design and implementation problems while helping other engineers contribute effectively. Your impact will come from shipping valuable products and making the next release better—fewer recurring problems, clearer interfaces, stronger testing, and practices the team can use independently. ## You Will ### Build and evolve the iOS product - Build products in iOS related to bitcoin, stablecoin, and non-custodial wallets - Work across interfaces in Cash App, Square, and Bitkey - Own complex features end to end (client architecture, service integration, testing, rollout, and post-launch improvements) - Partner with product and design to shape customer journeys, prototype interactions, and turn open questions into delivery plans - Build prototypes, reference implementations, and critical paths that prove a direction before broader adoption - Contribute bitcoin and stablecoin technology to open source when it creates value for the broader community - Influence technical direction within the product area, making tradeoffs and sequencing dependencies with adjacent teams - Improve architecture and shared components to make product development faster, safer, and more consistent - Build automated testing, observability, and safe rollout practices into delivery, with appropriate security, privacy, and compliance safeguards ### Lead as an AI-fluent engineer - Integrate AI-assisted development tools into daily workflows to drive leverage across bitcoin engineering - Evaluate emerging tools and practices; build durable, AI-powered capabilities where they add clear value - Verify AI-assisted outputs and ensure high standards for software quality, security, and reliability - Contribute to codebases beyond your iOS specialty ### Make the team more effective - Operate beyond your immediate team to identify and address cross-cutting technical problems - Lead architecture and design reviews across team boundaries - Surface systemic risks before they become customer, seller, or engineering problems - Mentor engineers through design discussions, code reviews, and structured guidance - Help set technical standards that improve the quality and velocity of iOS development over time ### Collaborate broadly - Partner with engineers, product managers, designers, and engineering leaders to align technical investments with product needs - Work with
