We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. Were dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use 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 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. Plaids network covers 12000 financial institutions across the US Canada UK and Europe. Founded in 2013 the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York Washington D.C. London and Amsterdam.
Plaids Network Enablement and Access (NEA) organization is the backbone of the Plaid network. We build and maintain connections to 10000 financial institutions ensuring that every product Plaid offers is powered by reliable high-quality data access. Our work spans the full lifecycle: building new integrations maintaining existing ones at scale through automated health monitoring turning network data into intelligence products for data partners and giving customers direct visibility into their integration health.
NEA is evolving from a connectivity-first org that builds and maintains bank integrations at scale to an intelligence platform that turns network data into products data partners value as much as connectivity itself. At the same time were rethinking how the org itself operates: applying AI not just to our products but to the engineering workflows operational processes and technical infrastructure that underpin everything we ship. Weve already dramatically reduced the cost of building new integrations with AI; the next phase extends that same thinking across how we monitor diagnose and evolve the network.
The Role
Youll lead NEAs 50 engineering organization across eight teams partnering with our Product Area Lead to co-own strategy and execution spanning access platform development network enablement and intelligence integration operations and solutions engineering.
Youll manage six engineering managers directly own the engineering hiring bar and be the senior engineering voice in company-wide strategy discussions. Youll set technical direction across the org deciding where to invest in foundations vs. product delivery and making those tradeoffs with conviction.
NEA is in the middle of an AI transformation. Weve already seen dramatic results from leading AI transformations in integration development and were pushing toward agentic systems that can observe diagnose and repair issues autonomously. You should have a strong point of view on how AI changes the way engineering orgs build software.
