Role

Who you are

5+ years of experience supporting a large fleet of macOS devices

Configuration as code (ex: terraform)
Advanced usage of bash/python or other languages
Leveraging Claude Code, Codex or other tools to improve the quality and efficiency of the solutions you are building
Experience managing, but also defining and leading the business with the proper use of critical central business systems

What the job involves

While you would be required to take part in our on-call rotation for a few hours a week, this isn't just a break/fix IT position, it's a chance to build, improve and own systems that a thousand-person company depends on
If you care about doing IT the right way, infrastructure as code, automation-first, and are very security-minded, this team is actively building that culture and we need someone with existing experience in this area to help us move even faster
In this role you will be expected to own various domains, extend existing capability for the team on a longer term roadmap and work on larger scope (quarter or longer) and more complex projects
Leading others on the team, unblocking others and providing some guidance and mentorship
Helping the team build out its roadmap, advocating for work that should be done in the future and backing it up with a plan
Owning and improving Okta configuration, lifecycle policies, access reviews, MFA enforcement, Workflows automation
Managing endpoint configuration via Iru/Kandji, with a preference for policy-as-code and version-controlled configs
Building and maintaining automation to reduce repetitive support burden
Evaluating, deploying and supporting AI tooling to improve team and company productivity
SaaS procurement/renewals for the systems we own
Active ownership of many companywide SaaS platforms (Google Workspace, Linear, Slack, Okta etc.)
Supporting other Eng, Security and GTM teams with planned work that crosses into the team boundary of the systems we support or our expertise

Our take

Plaid builds infrastructure that allows consumers 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 over 12,000 financial institutions in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. And 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.
