Plaid builds the technical infrastructure that makes Venmo, Coinbase, Acorns, and many other impactful companies possible—but it’s not just fintech startups or financial services that rely on Plaid. The way we see it, every company has the potential to be a fintech company, and the need for users to be able to access and control their own financial data will only grow.
That’s why it’s a great time to join Plaid. Right now, we serve hundreds of thousands of end users a day. We’ve got big goals to reach and tough technical challenges to solve to make sure they have the best experience possible.
Today and every day, Plaid is proud to support women in #fintech. We are moving the industry forward and building a better financial system 💪💪🏻💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿 #iwd2019 #iwd #lifeatplaid
View post on InstagramEveryone has really high ownership over the systems our team owns and is always willing to jump in and do whatever has the highest impact.
Plaiderdays is our triannual hackathon, where every employee is invited to spend three days dreaming up ways to make Plaid a better place. Many of our breakthrough products, process improvements, and ongoing cultural initiatives have come out of ambitious Plaiderdays projects.
To create an environment where everyone can feel free to dream big — and to take much-needed breaks — our Workplace Experience team coordinates fun activities throughout the hackathon.
Physical trophies are optional, but awards and prizes are a must. All employees are invited to vote for the best projects across a range of categories, including the most technically impressive, the most impactful non-technical project, the most crossfunctional team, and more.
We foster an inclusive workplace at Plaid. Whether it’s our biweekly Plairings, Diversity & Inclusion events, regular team outings, or our annual retreat, we want there to be a little something for everyone.
Our values guide everything from how we treat each other to how we make decisions.
🤝
Sharing across functions
Whether by email, presentation, or by posting our work in shared spaces (like the design crit wall), we encourage openness and data-sharing.
We believe in organizational transparency, where information is shared openly and everyone has the ability to learn about other parts of the business.
🙌
Team meetings Q&As
We encourage all Plaid employees to submit questions (or ask them live) for our founders during our bimonthly all-employee meetings.
We encourage strong opinions, but we also constantly seek feedback and are open to change.

Passing of the Plammer
A real-world (and symbolic) sledgehammer bestowed to one engineer by another for an impactful project or contribution to Plaid.
Transforming an industry must be paired with a willingness to be audacious.
👩💻
Code review guidelines
Recognizing that code reviews are key to scaling, shipping healthy code, and creating an inclusive culture of learning, we created a set of guidelines for engineers.
We’re building a business designed to scale, which means we optimize for outcomes—not perfection.
💬
Our customers are the experts
We recently co-hosted a panel with Out in Tech featuring LGBTQ+ leaders and allies about designing financially inclusive products.
We put our customers and their end-users first and foremost.
Data cleaning is very difficult, and while others deliver basic functionality, Plaid has the foresight and resources to go above and beyond that basic responsibility, and takes the initiative to increase the scope of their responsibility to their customers.
The people here are very generous with their time. They are always willing to speak with you or explain something that they’ve done or are working on.
I think a company three times or 10 times our size would be nervous about jumping into the things we wrestle with, but we’re pretty fearless about these sorts of things.
Top-notch medical, life, 401k benefits, partnerships with SoFi and monthly wellness stipend (gym on us).
Whether you drive, bike, or take public transportation, we help cover the cost.
There are many reasons to be away from the office and we value that.
We offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner to keep you well-fed and healthy.
We think everyone at Plaid should feel ownership over their work—literally.
We encourage Plaid employees to pursue personal development and growth.
