Plaid empowers developers and consumers to control their financial data. That mission still motivates us as we work to lower the barrier to entry into financial services.

Plaid has helped tens of thousands of applications—like Stripe, Coinbase, Venmo, Capital One, and charity: we build secure and user-friendly experiences that empower consumers to use their financial data in new ways. In the last year alone, we connected more than 20 million accounts—and we’re just getting started.

At Plaid, we have diverse backgrounds and skills, but we're all passionate about building a more efficient and inclusive financial infrastructure—together.

The product engineering team strives to make interacting with financial data not only better, but delightful. We believe that the key to solving finance’s biggest problems lies in meeting modern user expectations. As the gateway for thousands of applications like Robinhood, Stripe, or Venmo, Plaid’s platform calls for innovative problem solvers interested in tackling the complex challenges that exist in the financial ecosystem and scaling developer and user-facing systems to millions of users.

To develop top-tier, heavy-UI applications like Plaid Link, we are looking for people who excel across the disciplines of product engineering. This means a deep understanding of the JavaScript language, full-stack systems, scalability and performance, the nature of the HTTP protocol, and the varied edge cases in browsers, stylesheets, and mobile devices.
