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.
Team Overview
The TechOps team is the technical foundation that is a major stakeholder in keeping the company running. We own the systems, tools, and infrastructure that every Plaid employee depends on, from identity and endpoint management to help desk support, office infrastructure, and the internal tooling that powers day-to-day productivity.
What sets us apart from a traditional IT team is how we approach our higher-level goals. We treat corporate infrastructure like an engineering problem: configuration lives in code when possible, endpoint provisioning is automated, access assignment is self-service, and we're always looking for ways to make our systems more reliable and our support burden smaller.
We're a small team with broad ownership and high standards. We work closely with Security, Engineering, and People teams to make sure Plaid's internal environment is secure, scalable, and ready for where the company is going, whether that's a new office, a new compliance requirement, or a new way of working enabled by AI tooling.
Role Overview
In this role, you'll take part in our on-call rotation for a few hours each week, but this isn't just a break/fix IT position. It's a chance to build, improve, and own systems that a thousand-person company depends on.
If you care about doing IT the right way through infrastructure as code, automation-first thinking, and strong security instincts, this team is actively building that culture and needs someone with experience in this area to help us move even faster.
