Engineering Manager - Consumer at Plaid

This role is for a seasoned Tech Lead Manager with at least eight years of experience who thrives in 0→1 environments. You should have a strong background in building consumer-facing security or monitoring products and be comfortable splitting your time between hands-on systems architecture and people management. **What makes it worth a look...** This is a rare chance to lead a high-stakes, "greenfield" consumer product within an established fintech giant. The compensation is top-tier, and the hybrid San Francisco setup offers a strategic seat at the table for Plaid's next big expansion into direct-to-consumer fraud detection. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have 2+ years of formal management experience but still want to own backend architecture and technical design. * Have previously navigated the complexities of identity, authentication, and high-trust financial data. * Enjoy the pace of a small, nimble team where you can influence product strategy alongside engineering standards. * Live within commuting distance of the San Francisco office for a hybrid schedule.
