Business Systems Analyst

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 People Technology team, part of the People Automation and Operations organization, manages the infrastructure powering Block's employee lifecycle from recruiting to off boarding. 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 start with Talent Acquisition as your first customer and broaden across the People portfolio from there.

In Your First Year

• Start with Talent, build for the portfolio. You'll partner closely with Talent Acquisition on their most pressing technology needs while their strategy and org design come together — building solutions that hold up beyond that first customer.

• Automate recurring operational work, sustainably. A meaningful share of the work supporting our People stack repeats. You'll replace it with automation built to last — documented, maintainable, and designed as shared capability rather than one-off fixes.

• Make other builders faster. As teams across People build their own AI-enabled solutions, you'll give them the underpinnings: trusted data access, integration patterns, reusable tools and agents, and clear guidance on what's safe to build and what isn't.
