As an Infrastructure Engineer on Network Infrastructure, you'll own large parts of the network that every Plaid product depends on. You'll plan and lead changes that touch the whole company, like upgrading our service mesh or modernizing older parts of our cloud network, and deliver them safely without disrupting customers. You'll build tools that let product engineers move faster on their own, help strengthen the security and compliance boundaries in our network, and dig into hard problems when something goes wrong. The team is small and new, so you'll have a real voice in its technical direction, with a clear path toward Staff-level scope.
