About 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—to support our People teams.

We're looking for someone to start with Talent Acquisition as their first customer and then expand across the People portfolio. In your first year, you'll start with Talent, build for the portfolio, automate recurring operational work, and make other builders faster.

• Evaluate and manage People Technology vendors, weighing build, buy, and integration decisions.
• Evolve People Technology toward consistent, shared platform capabilities and architectural patterns that empower builders across the organization.
• Use AI and modern development tools to prototype, automate, and deliver technology solutions that improve the employee and candidate experience.
• Partner with builders across the People organization so solutions draw on trusted data, follow governance standards, and are designed for maintainability and scale.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and identify opportunities to improve productivity, employee experiences, and operational effectiveness.
• Steward our core People Platform, including systems of record such as Workday and Greenhouse, ensuring reliable, secure, and scalable operations.

Requirements

• Supported Recruiting or Talent Acquisition through technology, with working knowledge of how hiring runs—offer approvals, requisition and application flows, and the sourcing or assessment tools behind them.
• Experimented with AI tools to automate work or build solutions, and can talk through what you tried, what you learned, and how you'd apply it to People Technology challenges.
• Led technology initiatives end-to-end—from discovery and requirements through implementation, change management, and adoption—simplifying complex business processes along the way.
• Translate technical concepts for business stakeholders and business needs for technical audiences, and influence decisions across People, Security, Data, and Engineering teams.
• Built AI-powered workflows, agents, or applications using AI APIs, agent frameworks, or automation platforms—prototypes and side projects count.

• Understanding of compliance and security standards relevant to People data (SOX controls, GDPR, data classification frameworks, access controls).
