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. Today, thousands of companies such as Acorns, Stripe, and Venmo rely on Plaid to connect with the financial system; supporting millions of requests per day and thousands of bank integrations. Our goal is to give people more control over their finances and unlock financial freedom for everyone.

Security Engineering is focused on data security. We are responsible for building out security systems and controls to reduce the risks on data. We believe security should be enabled by default across all of Plaid.

You will ensure that the flow of information across the Plaid ecosystem is safe and secure. Build security controls around sensitive data and reduce its exposure to internal and external users. You will continue to improve Plaid's services around data deletion and encryption to exceed industry standards and norms. Partner with other engineering teams to implement security improvements and provide security architecture guidance.

We're guided by our principles including impact, growing together, embracing openness and positivity, inventing tomorrow; we're looking for leaders who are motivated by those same principles.

What excites you

  • Improving security through building software.
  • Working across legal, product, and engineering to improve security at the business level.
  • Setting a new standard for data privacy across the financial industry.
  • Thinking of security primitives like authentication, encryption, logging as products for engineers as customers.

What excites us

  • Experience building mission critical backend infrastructure.
