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 allow developers to create the next generation of financial services applications. As a software engineer at Plaid, you'll be essential in building and scaling the APIs that help us all achieve this vision.
We’re architected around decoupled services. You could be working on our internal distributed systems framework that holds them all together, or building out the newest version of our API. 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, and Scala.
What excites us
Production experience, core fundamentals, and a mastery of at least one language
Someone who actively considers the fine balance between shipping speed and perfection
Background in computer science, engineering, or another related field and a strong track record of building interesting projects
Product mindset. You understand that building the right tools and systems can impact millions of users
Hacker mentality. Many of our projects are truly full-stack, and you might have to move from front-end to sysadmin at a moment's notice
Experience writing test-driven software for a startup or large tech company is a plus
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.
