Job Description
We believe that 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 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. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Washington D.C., London and Amsterdam.
We build the security foundation that every engineer at Plaid depends on. The Security Engineering team is responsible for building, scaling, and evolving the core security infrastructure that enables Plaid's product engineering teams to ship securely and at speed. We own the secure paved roads across encryption, authN/authZ, CI/CD, data, and network security surfaces, abstracting away security complexity so developers can build at velocity with confidence. Our mission is simple: make the secure path the easy path for every engineer at Plaid.
As the Engineering Manager for Security Engineering, you will lead a team of security engineers building and operating the foundational capabilities that underpin secure development across Plaid. You will partner closely with the CISO and cross-functional engineering leaders to define and drive the roadmap for our platform capabilities, while ensuring our paved roads are reliable, well-adopted, and continuously maturing. You're a technically credible leader who earns the trust of your engineers by going deep, and earns the trust of the business by translating complex security tradeoffs into pragmatic, risk-based decisions that align with Plaid's product goals.
