Description
As the Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of roughly ten engineers through a major transformation: bringing Plaid's existing onboarding products together, moving Link's highest-traffic experiences onto the new foundation without disrupting the traffic they carry every day, and continuing to improve the Link experience along the way.
Responsibilities
- Set team strategy and technical roadmap in partnership with the Tech Lead, balancing platform migration with ongoing improvements to Link
- Drive team execution and hold a high technical bar through hands-on involvement in design and code review
- Hire, manage, and develop a team of engineers, including goal setting, coaching, feedback, and performance management
- Partner with Product, Design, and engineering teams across Plaid to define clear interfaces and make the unified platform easy to adopt and extend
- Keep Link reliable and healthy through the transition, making sound tradeoffs between new work and long-term system health
Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience as a backend or full-stack engineer, with a track record of designing and shipping complex, scalable systems
- 2+ years managing engineers, including coaching, performance management, and building a team
- Strong technical depth: ability to dive into architecture and design details, and credibly hold a high bar for the team
- Strong user empathy and ability to balance technical tradeoffs with product outcomes
- Nice to have: experience building consumer-facing products and/or product-led growth (PLG) dev tools
The salary range for this position is $216K - $329.4K. Plaid provides a comprehensive benefit plan, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
