Product Security Engineer

The Product Security team is responsible for the processes, policies, controls, and engineering systems that secure Plaid’s developer- and consumer-facing products. The team focuses on areas including application security, vulnerability management, secure development lifecycle, penetration testing, and cloud security. Beyond setting standards, the team builds the services, components, and workflows that protect Plaid’s products at scale. By moving security “left,” Product Security makes the secure path the easiest path for engineers across the company.

Plaid is looking for a Product Security Engineer who is fundamentally a builder. Unlike traditional product security roles, this position is designed for a software engineer who wants to solve security challenges at scale by developing production-grade services, libraries, and frameworks. In this role, you’ll build and maintain Plaid’s vulnerability management orchestration service, automate workflows to reduce operational toil, and create solutions that eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities. You’ll also partner closely with product engineers to ensure services meet security standards, support incident response and security awareness efforts, and collaborate across the security platform organization to deliver the engineering foundations that make secure development the default at Plaid.
