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. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use.

You will serve as the technical lead for the full machine learning lifecycle, overseeing everything from data curation and experimentation to production deployment, feature management, and observability. In this role, you will establish rigorous evaluation frameworks to measure model performance across diverse use cases and build scalable, repeatable pipelines that translate research into production impact. You will also partner closely with teams across the organization to define how products integrate with and adapt foundation models, enabling reusable ML infrastructure and reducing duplicated modeling efforts. As a senior technical leader, you will ment
