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.

The Mobile team provides mobile SDKs for customers to quickly and easily integrate Link into their applications. We own Plaid’s mobile Link SDK product and strategy. Some of the important aspects of our mobile SDK include end user conversion, end user privacy, usability, brand sentiment, and 3rd party developer experience. TLDR; We care about every angle of the Link mobile experience.

The Technical Lead Manager will lead a mobile team of 3 other engineers who own Plaid’s Android, iOS, and react-native SDKs. You will be a player/coach on the team. Approximately 25% of your time will be spent on team management and leadership, and 75% of your time will be spent hands-on as an engineer. This is an opportunity to craft the team vision, strategy, and roadmap in partnership with your PMs, architecture lead, team ICs, and adjacent engineering teams to help solve problems as a team.

In addition, you will facilitate career growth for each of your reports, leveraging Plaid’s career ladder and providing ongoing feedback. As an engineer on the team, you will bring expertise in either the Android or iOS platform, and within that platform you will improve our SDK to leverage the latest and greatest technologies.
