Senior Software Engineer - Fullstack

Engineering

Seattle, WA

Full-time

We build simple yet innovative consumer products and developer APIs that shape how everybody interacts with money and the financial system.

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.

Plaid’s mission is to unlock financial freedom for everyone by making money movement and access to financial data simple and secure. As a Fullstack Software Engineer, you will design and build the systems and experiences that power how millions of people connect to their finances.

You will work across the stack, building scalable backend services and APIs while also crafting intuitive, high-quality frontend experiences that bring those systems to life. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy switching between backend problem-solving and frontend user experience work, and who are excited to grow their impact across both.

You will collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to ship products that are reliable, secure, and delightful to use. At Plaid, engineers take ownership early, contribute to architectural decisions, and see their work reach millions of users.

Responsibilities

Maintain high code quality. Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, and participate in code reviews and technical design discussions.
Test and debug. Build automated tests, monitor system performance, and troubleshoot issues in production environments.
Contribute to system design. Engage in hands-on coding and architectural decisions to ensure reliability, security, and scalability.
Grow the team. Support a strong engineering culture through mentorship, thoughtful reviews, and shared ownership of technical standards.

Qualifications

5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production systems or features
Experience building backend services using relational databases such as MySQL, and working with microservices or service-oriented architectures
Strong working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern frontend frameworks or libraries, with comfort building user-facing experiences
Solid system design, coding, and testing skills across both frontend and backend
Proven ability to collaborate effectively with product, design, and other engineering partners
Experience mentoring or supporting the growth of other engineers through reviews, guidance, or leadership
Comfortable working across product, operations, and data teams to deliver end-to-end solutions
