We're hiring Staff Engineers across multiple teams to help us scale Plaid’s technical foundation and unlock new product capabilities. You’ll lead high-impact projects that cut across teams, deliver best-in-class systems, and build infrastructure that makes it easier and safer for engineers to ship critical code.

As a Staff Engineer, your impact will extend beyond any single codebase, driving architecture for critical Tier-0 systems, or owning the highest priority product engineering initiatives. You’ll partner across product, infra, and security teams to shape durable abstractions, resolve architectural debt, and make systems more reliable and explainable. You’ll work across domains—like identity resolution, data pipelines, access control, and developer experience—owning decisions that improve quality and accelerate delivery at the company level.

You’ll also raise the bar for engineering at Plaid. That means driving execution directly on ambitious projects, mentoring other engineers, leading technical reviews, and modeling high-context, low-friction collaboration.
