Remote job description

We believe 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 infrastructure developers need 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 and 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 11,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Salt Lake City, Washington D.C., London and Amsterdam.

The Auth, Balance, and Identity team's goal is to provide services to our customers to instantly accept bank-to-bank transfers and payments. By doing so, we'll support Plaid's overall vision to unlock financial freedom for everyone, by helping Plaid's customers empower people to take more control of the movement of money in their bank accounts.

You'll be responsible for implementing new product features that add or change the functionality of Auth, Balance, and Identity products. You will also be expected to work with product managers and Plaid's customers to collect feedback, build appropriate metrics and analytics to quantify and evaluate impact, and collaborate and lead execution across the team and company.

To address core product needs, you will also need to understand, design, and implement infrastructure changes and/or new systems that impact systems across Plaid, including Plaid's core cloud infrastructure. You'll help drive technical strategy for this product engineering team, and utilize that product engineering perspective to help set up Plaid's technical infrastructure for our rapidly growing company.
