Hybrid Staff Software Engineer, Product en Plaid
Plaid · San Francisco, Estados Unidos De América · Hybrid
- Senior
- Oficina en San Francisco
We're hiring Staff Engineers across multiple teams to help us scale Plaid’s technical foundation and unlock new product capabilities. You’ll lead high-impact projects that cut across teams, deliver best-in-class systems, and build infrastructure that makes it easier and safer for engineers to ship critical code.
As a Staff Engineer, your impact will extend beyond any single codebase, driving architecture for critical Tier-0 systems, or owning the highest priority product engineering initiatives. You’ll partner across product, infra, and security teams to shape durable abstractions, resolve architectural debt, and make systems more reliable and explainable. You’ll work across domains—like identity resolution, data pipelines, access control, and developer experience—owning decisions that improve quality and accelerate delivery at the company level.
You’ll also raise the bar for engineering at Plaid. That means driving execution directly on ambitious projects, mentoring other engineers, leading technical reviews, and modeling high-context, low-friction collaboration.
The target base salary for this position ranges from $202,800/year to $330,000/year in Zone 1. The target base salary will vary based on the job's location.
Our geographic zones are as follows:
Zone 1 - New York City and San Francisco Bay Area
Zone 2 - Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington D.C.
Zone 3 - Austin, Boston, Denver, Houston, Portland, Sacramento, San Diego
Zone 4 - Raleigh-Durham and all other US cities
Additional compensation in the form(s) of equity and/or commission are dependent on the position offered. Plaid provides a comprehensive benefit plan, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k). Pay is based on factors such as (but not limited to) scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate's work experience and skillset, and location. Pay and benefits are subject to change at any time, consistent with the terms of any applicable compensation or benefit plans.
