We build simple yet innovative consumer products and developer APIs that shape how everybody interacts with money and the financial system.
Think of Update Pipeline as Plaid’s Plaid – we own the business logic and systems that power every user-present pathway (ex: anytime a user connects their bank to their favorite fintech app!), orchestrates how financial information flows into Plaid, builds shared data models, and transforms raw bank data into the rich information that Plaid products rely on.

We do this at global scale; for the largest companies in the world (Google, Meta, Shopify, Square, Robinhood, Venmo to name just a few).

We are a high‑performing group of engineers based in San Francisco, collaborating in‑office three days a week.
