Description

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.

As Engineering Manager for Network Health, you will lead a growing, deeply technical team responsible for risk engineering at Plaid. You will set the long-term strategy and roadmap, translate evolving fraud scenarios and business requirements into technical priorities, and drive execution with a high technical bar.

Responsibilities:

  • You’ll lead a team of 5 engineers and 2 embedded data scientists, developing them through clear goal setting, coaching, and feedback.
  • You’ll drive the long-term Network Health strategy and roadmap, in close partnership with technical and product leaders across Plaid.
  • You’ll uphold a high bar for technical quality and delivery velocity, leading by example.
  • You’ll dive hands-on into the data and tech stack to understand current metrics, trends, and opportunities - then use those to guide the team’s technical decisions.

Nice to have:

  • 8+ years of industry experience, that includes time as a Staff-level engineer before transitioning into management.
  • 2+ years of engineering management experience.
  • A track record of setting strategy and executing against roadmaps in ambiguous environments while navigating business, product, and technical tradeoffs.
  • Deep technical judgment in backend and data-intensive systems, with the ability to engage directly in architecture, system design, coding, and data analysis.
  • Experience in risk engineering, fraud detection, abuse prevention, trust and safety, or a related domain.
  • Track record of building and growing high performing engineering teams.

Plaid provides a comprehensive benefit plan, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k). The compensation range for this role is $216K - $291K.
