About the role
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 The People Technology team, part of the People Automation and Operations organization, manages the infrastructure powering Block's employee lifecycle from recruiting to offboarding. We're shifting from standard SaaS solutions to building scalable, secure platform infrastructure — data APIs, AI agents, and integration frameworks — so our People teams can build more. Reporting to the Head of People Technology, you'll join a team that builds and stewards the system architecture, entitlements, and integrations connecting our People platforms — starting with Talent Acquisition and expanding across the broader People portfolio. Together, your team is the technical backbone that lets People Operations teams safely configure and build on top of well-designed systems, rather than configuring those systems day to day themselves. You Will Platform Architecture & Integrations • Help design and own the system architecture connecting Workday, Greenhouse, and other People platforms, including entitlements, security roles, data models, and integration patterns (APIs, middleware, ETL). • Build and maintain integrations and data flows that People teams and Operations partners can rely on, build from, and extend easily. • Evaluate and manage People Technology vendors and platforms, weighing build, buy, and integration tradeoffs. Enablement & Reusable Tooling • Build MCPs, data services, and other reusable tools that make People systems more accessible and configurable for non-engineers — the underlying plumbing that lets Talent Operations and other People teams build on trusted, governed foundations. • Partner with Talent Acquisition and other People teams to understand what they need to configure or build themselves, and deliver the data fields, security roles, and integration points that make it possible. • Advise on and help design solutions with People teams as they evaluate configuration or automation options, making sure what they build sits on solid architecture. AI, Automation & Innovation • Use AI and modern development tools to prototype, automate, and deliver integration and data solutions that improve reliability and speed. • Evaluate emerging technologies and identify opportunities to strengthen the platform's architecture and operational effectiveness. Platform Operations & Governance • Steward the technical health of our People systems of record, including Workday and Greenhouse, ensuring integrations, data flows, and access models are reliable, secure, and scalable. You Have • 5+ years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 3 years and a Master's degree; or a PhD without experience; or equivalent work experience. • Hands-on experience designing and building Workday integrations, data flows, and system architecture using Workday's integration toolset (e.g., EIBs, Workday Studio, Core Connectors, web services/APIs) and middleware/ETL platforms that connect to it. • Hands-on experience defining and managing security roles, entitlements, or access models within complex enterprise systems. • A background in enterprise applications, platform engineering, or IT systems
