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. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US,

Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Washington D.C.,

London and Amsterdam.

Plaid Europe is building Plaid in Europe—the open banking platform that makes international expansion one click away for fintechs

who want to scale globally.

We are the only transatlantic open banking provider, uniquely positioned to help fintechs scale globally with a single Plaid

integration. Our team localises, scales, and operates the bank connectivity layer that powers payments, underwriting, onboarding,

and identity—abstracting fragmented European rails and regulations into a single, reliable platform.

The team owns four core pillars:

Account-to-Account Payments

Cash Flow & Income Insights for Credit

Bank Connectivity Across Europe

Consumer Experience

This team operates at the intersection of distributed systems, financial infrastructure, and consumer UX. We solve hard problems

in payments reliability, data quality, regulatory complexity, and cross-market expansion—enabling fintechs to launch in new

countries with minimal additional engineering effort.

We are a high-impact, cross-functional engineering team working closely with US platform teams, GTM, compliance, and operations to

make Plaid the default open banking layer for global fintechs operating in Europe.

You will serve as the Engineering Lead for Europe, managing a team of 9+ engineers directly while serving as a member of the small

leadership team and working closely with your cross-functional peers.

This is more than just a single-team manager role; it’s the senior-most engineering leader in Europe, operating with a high degree

of autonomy and acting as a co-owner of Plaid’s European operations.

Responsibilities

Lead and grow a team of 9+ engineers, from mid-level to Staff, through clear goals, coaching, and direct feedback, building a

strong, accountable team culture.

Set and drive the technical and product direction for Plaid in Europe, partnering closely with Product, Design, and business

leaders to decide what we build and why.

Work across teams to shape the roadmap, spot high-leverage opportunities, and make clear tradeoffs between speed, risk, and

long-term investments.

Go deep on technical design when needed, unblocking complex problems and maintaining a high bar for quality and reliability in

production.

Represent engineering in leadership discussions, helping guide business decisions and align European priorities with broader

company strategy.

Qualifications

8+ years of industry experience, that includes time as a Staff-level engineer before transitioning into management.

2-3+ years of engineering management experience.

Track record of building and growing strong engineering teams through coaching, clear goal-setting, and raising the talent bar.

Experience owning a production product area and partnering closely with Product and business stakeholders to drive outcomes.

Experience designing and evolving scalable, reliable systems that support real-world products at scale.

Strong technical judgment, with the ability to dive deep into architecture and unblock complex cross-team problems.

[Nice to have] Experience operating in fintech, payments, credit, or other regulated domains.

[Nice to have] Experience leading teams in international or multi-region environments.

[Nice to have] Startup experience/founder experience.

Our mission at Plaid is to unlock financial freedom for everyone. To support that mission, we seek to build a diverse team of

driven individuals who care deeply about making the financial ecosystem more equitable. We recognize that strong qualifications

can come from both prior work experiences and lived experiences. We encourage you to apply to a role even if your experience

doesn't fully match the job description. We are always looking for team members that will bring something unique to Plaid!

In 2026, we aim to be the leading provider for European IPOs and reporting for share-based payments. We are a value-based company with a core focus on being humble, transparent, ambitious and impactful, all in order to delivery the best experience for our customers and end users. We are proud to partner with some of the world’s leading investors. New Enterprise Associates led our $22m Series B round in 2022, with Philip Chopin joining Sequoia’s Luciana Lixandru on our board.

We encourage diversity and are an international team coming from 26 different countries and speaking 25 different languages. About the Role As a hands-on Engineering Manager of one of our feature teams at Ledgy, you'll lead the engineers who build the features that help companies offer, manage, and communicate compensation and savings vehicles: from equity plans to pensions, carry, and beyond. Your team works on the products employees and companies use to make sense of complex compensation structures. This is a good fit if you find it meaningful to work on features that are financially significant to the people using them, as getting compensation right matters. The work is domain-rich: these structures are complex, high-stakes, and varied. You'll report to the Head of Engineering and play a key role in expanding Ledgy's product coverage as companies increasingly look to offer diverse forms of compensation. You'll Thrive in This Role If You * Have 2+ years in Engineering Management and 6+ years as a Software Engineer, with meaningful time in product-focused or domain-heavy roles * Are energised by features that have a direct, visible impact on end users — the things employees actually see and interact with * Care deeply about correctness in domains where getting things wrong has real financial consequences * Are comfortable with evolving scope — compensation takes many forms, and the product will grow to reflect that * Actively use AI tools to multiply your output and are excited to help your team do the same — you see AI as a core part of how great engineering gets done today * Love developing people and creating an environment where engineers can do their best work * Want to stay hands-on — you're comfortable diving into the codebase, reviewing PRs with concrete feedback, and shipping yourself What You'll Own * Team Leadership: Setting technical direction for the team, running 1:1s and performance conversations, and supporting engineers in their growth. * AI-Augmented Engineering: Modelling and promoting effective use of AI tools across your team — from coding assistants to automated workflows. You'll help engineers develop good instincts for where AI accelerates work and where human judgment matters most. * Compensation & Savings Features: The product surface covering a range of compensation and savings vehicles — equity plans, pensions, carry, and more. Your team builds the logic and UX that makes these products usable for both companies and their employees. * Employee-Facing Experience: Ensuring the features your team builds are not just correct, but clear and accessible to employees navigating complex compensation structures. * Domain Breadth: As Ledgy expands into new compensation types, your team will be at the frontier, building the models and product experiences that bring them to life. Our tech stack: * Language: TypeScript * Frontend: React, Tailwind CSS, tRPC * Backend: tRPC, Node.js, MongoDB, Temporal * Infrastructure: Docker, GitHub Actions, GCP, Terraform Cloud, Kubernetes What Your Journey Could Look Like First 30 Days * Build relationships with your direct reports and develop a solid understanding of the compensation domain, including what we support today and where we're headed * Get hands-on with the codebase — review PRs and understand how the product models compensation and plan logic * Meet PD leadership: CTO, Head of Engineering, Head of Product, and the other EMs * Understand how your team's domain intersects with the rest of the platform First 3 Months * Own the team's delivery rhythm: roadmap reviews, sprint health, and unblocking engineers * Identify and begin addressing the most complex or fragile areas of the domain * Establish regular 1:1s and begin meaningful coaching conversations with your reports * Partner with PM and Design on the roadmap for expanding compensation coverage 6–12 Months * Be recognised as the technical leader for compensation and savings features at Ledgy * Deliver measurable improvements to product quality, coverage, or the employee experience * Lead performance reviews and meaningful career development conversations * Be a trusted partner to product and engineering leadership on compensation strategy The Interview Process 1. Getting to know you (30 min): Meet with someone from our people team to talk about your experience and to answer questions about the role 2.

Mock 1:1 (45 min): A mock coaching conversation with one of our engineers to see how you approach people management and development 5. Culture & Vision (30 min): Meet one of our founders to discuss Ledgy's mission and how you think about making compensation and savings products work for everyone 6. Offer 🎉 Being part of Ledgy means: * Recharge and re-energize with flexible working hours, 25 days of vacation, and up to 40 days of remote work from outside your home country. * We make space for your own professional development, with a generous yearly learning & development budget. * This role will receive a competitive salary + benefits + equity.
