About Jessica McCay
With over a decade of experience in engineering leadership, I currently serve as Director of Engineering at Block, driving innovation in data platforms and event pipelines. Passionate about enabling scalable, reliable, and compliant data solutions, I collaborate across teams to modernize systems that power Cash App, Square, and Afterpay. My focus is on fostering a culture of collaboration and excellence while aligning technical advancements with organizational goals to enhance developer velocity and meet compliance standards. At Block, I lead the Data Gateway organization, overseeing teams responsible for modernizing data ingestion through Apache Iceberg, integrating Snowflake and Databricks, and unifying batch and streaming use cases. Partnering with Compliance and engineering teams, we have reset CDC replication strategies and advanced GraphQL unification efforts to reduce duplication and improve reliability. Together, we drive impactful improvements that scale platform capabilities and empower teams to innovate with confidence.
