The Product Foundations team is responsible for the core technical infrastructure that supports Plaid’s evolving product suite. One of the key foundational teams in this space is called Update Pipeline. Think of us as “Plaid’s Plaid”—a team focused on building the components and interfaces that empower all other teams to create scalable, resilient product solutions.
We solve Plaid’s most challenging problems by managing critical platform layers that drive Plaid’s network and applications. This includes user-present pathways, data ingestion pipelines, bank integration stacks, APIs supporting Plaid’s user network, and core data models.
By abstracting and optimizing these core components, we enable faster product launches, ensure secure and efficient systems, and maintain the cohesive structure that powers Plaid’s modern, data-driven products. This is the area where challenging, Plaid domain-specific technical problems meet product impact.
Responsibilities
- Setting team strategy in partnership with the TL on this team and other ProFound EM counterparts.
- Driving execution (eg, planning, sprints, etc) and holding a high technical bar.
- People management of engineers: career growth, performance management, evaluating promotions, and delivering feedback.
- Directly driving technical and product outcomes: identifying new opportunities, diving deep into project details to ensure robust project execution, and more.
- This person will need to be very hands-on and technical to be successful.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to define clear, reusable interfaces and abstractions that simplify complex workflows for the other Plaid product team.
- Strong understanding of building scalable architecture to support production products.
- Experience hiring, managing, and growing engineers.
- Must be a deeply technical EM.
- Able to dive deep into the technical details of the problems the team faces, empowering the team to execute against an ambitious set of goals.
