We believe that consumer's and businesses' way of working with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. Our goal is to build the tools and infrastructure for developers to create this next generation of financial services applications. Today, thousands of companies such as Acorns, Stripe, and Venmo rely on Plaid to integrate with banks and the financial system. Plaid's infrastructure handles millions of requests per day and thousands of bank integrations. We pride ourselves on maintaining an API to support the developers who depend on us and the millions of consumers who use their apps. 

The mission of Plaid's Security Operations Team is to secure environments for our employees, development, and services. We achieve this by implementing controls that ensure security in the background, measuring effectiveness and adjusting controls. We also monitor and respond to issues that occur in those environments, address events, and reduce risk exposure.

As a Security Engineer on the Security Operations team, you will implement security around the corporate environments we use, such as SaaS solutions, office networks, and workstations. You will investigate insider threats and behavior anomalies, work with technical operations to harden and automate security configurations of our networks and workstation provisioning processes, and work with other teams as new cloud services are needed as we grow. Major projects may include building automated investigation tooling, refining vulnerability management or network/endpoint monitoring processes, and coordinating with the Infrastructure Security portion of the SecOps team to standardize response processes and improvements.

We're guided by our principles, including impact, growing together, embracing openness and positivity, and inventing tomorrow; we're looking for people motivated by those same principles.
