The Role
We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Washington D.C., London and Amsterdam.
We are building the future of bank payments, focusing on both building the money movement mechanics directly as well as enabling partners to offer solutions. We have large number of customers already using our solutions, both direct and via partners, and are looking to further scale up our product offerings and total volume that we can support. We operate solutions across all of the major bank payment rails in the US, and are planning to continue leading the industry by enabling the latest innovations in realtime payments. We build across the full-stack, including data pipelines, backend systems, APIs and customer-facing front-end experiences.
You will manage a team of engineers who work on building and maintaining the Transfer and Partnerships product suite and underlying systems. You’ll collaborate with your product counterparts to define the strategy and vision for both areas, and turn that into concrete roadmaps for the team. You’ll design and build APIs and Dashboard experiences that are available to thousands of Plaid customers. You’ll partner closely with the engineering team on the technical planning and execution, including maintaining high reliability systems (think many 9’s) that perform up to customer expectations for money movement flows.
