What the job involves
- We’re looking for an experienced Product Designer to join our Link team. In this pivotal role, you’ll collaborate with cross-functional partners to identify and craft innovative solutions that enhance the bank linking experience for both consumers and customers.
- You’ll lead the design of 0-1 direct-to-consumer products while iterating on existing experiences, ensuring that every solution meets the highest standards of visual and interaction design excellence
- At Plaid, we are committed to delivering an industry-leading bank linking experience that supports a wide range of Plaid’s customer use cases, from Credit to Payments.

Our take
Plaid builds infrastructure that allows a consumer to interact with their bank account on the web through a number of third-party applications, like Venmo, Robinhood, Coinbase, Acorns and LendingClub.
Plaid has integrated with 12,000 financial institutions in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. About a quarter of people living in North America with bank accounts have linked with Plaid through at least one of the hundreds of apps that leverage Plaid’s application program interfaces (APIs). The platform allows companies to create financial services applications without having to hire their own team of engineers to build out a tool that connects apps to its users’ bank accounts.
This is very valuable in a world where there are increasing number of fintechs, so the demand for Plaid's services are only going to grow. Despite its strong position, it has not been immune to the difficult global economic situtation and was forced to restructure at the end of 2022, laying off some of its workforce. However it is still experiencing growth and is well-positioned to weather the current economic uncertainty.
