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.

We believe that the way consumers and businesses interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. Plaid's goal is to enable this shift by building the tools and infrastructure that let developers create the next generation of financial services applications. As a software engineer at Plaid, you'll be responsible for building and maintaining the core integrations into our financial institution partners—and help build on the framework that keeps all these integrations together. It is the most mission-critical component of our infrastructure, and is responsible for connecting millions of bank accounts and billions transactions to Plaid. You'll work mostly with a codebase written in Typescript, but also with codebases in Go and Node.js.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

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.

Most of our back-end core systems are written in Go, but that's not a prerequisite. We pick the right tool for the job and have systems in Go, Node.js, Python, Javascript, and Scala.
