Anyone who works for Block interested in chatting? I'm a data scientist with a background in financial services and banking regulatory compliance, and saw an interesting role in Block's financial crimes technology group. Would love to learn more, maybe request a referral too.

Hey there! I have a friend over at Block who may be able to help you! I have to talk to him and see when he'd have time to connect, but if you're interested in that role, then apply to it! Don't wait any longer. When I have word from my friend, I will let you know.

What department is your friend in?

Is it a good idea to go to Block right now??

I think you might be referencing Block’s market performance over the past year-or-so, and you’re right that there is a reasonable concern with regard to the financial trajectory of the company. This is the finance bowl, after all.

However, emerging payment platforms and methods, in which Block is a leader (Square, Cashapp), present novel challenges and opportunities with respect to developing new solutions for fraud and technology crime. Traditional banking and payment services have established practices for such, but because the platform and methods are new, emerging user behavior even newer, and volume at the scale of Block rare, there are a lot of insights to be gained from a data science perspective, and interesting, never-before-seen challenges to address using ai/ml.

I’d just like to take a crack at it.

I think outside of crypto, I would consider blockchain a pretty interesting solution that has a lot of use cases. Just think it's gonna take a loooong time before you see any real adoption for it

I don't currently work there but I used to. I may be able to help you out with some general questions. I'm sure it hasn't changed all that much in the three years I have been gone.

What kind of role were you in?
