Why You Should Join Us

Plaud is building the next generation intelligence infrastructure and interfaces to capture, extract, and utilize intelligence from what people say, hear, see, and think.

• Plaud is a bootstrapped, skyrocketing, profitable company with a $250M revenue run rate achieved in just three years.

• Define the next-gen paradigm for human-AI interaction.

• Gain exposure to cutting-edge AI for Pro tools and play a direct role in our global expansion.

• Work with passionate teammates who value innovation, collaboration, and customer success.

• Grow your career in a culture that champions continuous learning and fast career development.

• Market-competitive compensation, global exposure, and a vibrant, creativity-fueled work atmosphere.

• We're hiring the engineer who turns "someone should automate this" into "done."

What you will do

• Pick the platform, set the architecture — choose the orchestration / iPaaS (Tray, Workato, n8n…) and define the integration patterns, data contracts and auth model others build to.

• Build the integration + auth layer — connect the core stack (Okta/Entra, Rippling, NetSuite, Slack, Notion) with automated, identity-driven provisioning.

• Ship AI agents & automations — starting with quick wins, hire-to-retire, and help-desk deflection.

• Turn jobs-to-be-done into production — monitored, reliable automations with runbooks. No solo-maintained black boxes.

• Partner across the company — wire systems to Business Systems' data contracts, across all global offices

How you'll elevate Plaud

• From manual to automatic. The repetitive work that drains people quietly disappears.

• Quick wins everyone feels. You ship the automations that change how a team works the same week.

• You make the company faster. Every system you connect compounds — the whole org moves quicker.

Skills, qualifications and experience we look for

• 5+ years building integrations and/or automation in production (APIs, webhooks, SCIM, event-driven), hands-on with an iPaaS (Workato, n8n, Tray, or similar).

• Has shipped AI/LLM agents or automations end-to-end — orchestration, workflow and prompt design — not just prototypes.

• Strong engineering fundamentals and scripting (Python), with production discipline: monitoring, error handling, runbooks.

• Solid grasp of identity/auth (SSO, SCIM, OAuth) and how systems of record (HRIS, ERP, collaboration) connect.

• A builder's bias — would rather ship a rough quick win this week than perfect a plan for next quarter
