At Plaid, our mission is to empower innovators by delivering access to the financial system. Since 2012 we've helped tens of millions of consumers live a better financial life and over a thousand customers build a new financial future. Our customers range from startups like Stripe and Coinbase to Fortune 500 enterprises like American Express and PayPal. Founded in 2012, Plaid has raised $300M of capital from prominent Silicon Valley investors including Mary Meeker, Andreessen Horowitz, Index Ventures, and Spark Capital, as well as global financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Citi. But we’re just getting started. 

The Plaid Legal team works at the intersection of technology and finance on disruptive innovations that require creative and pragmatic solutions. You will join a small but talented Legal team that deals with novel issues every day, and you will work collaboratively across Plaid’s risk, product, and business teams, as well as with our customers and partners. While the primary focus of this role is commercial contracts, a core principle of Plaid is to "make it better" and you will have opportunities to design and improve scaleable processes and workflow.
