At Plaid, we believe that the way consumers and businesses interact 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, hundreds of companies such as Venmo, Coinbase, and Acorns rely on Plaid to integrate with banks and the financial system.

• Creating novel signals to better understand how adversaries are working across Plaid’s ecosystem.
• Working across the stack backend to frontend, as well as on mobile to understand abuse end to end.
