Plaid is lowering the barrier to entry for developers building financial applications. A big part of this entails solving the complex data problems at the core of financial services. The data engineering team is charged with building infrastructure that can handle the millions of users and billions of transactions that touch the Plaid platform. Their job is to better understand behavioral patterns, evaluate risk, and enable developers to move money and data quickly and safely. They work mostly in Scala and Python—but they also push production code in Go and Node.js. They’re heavy users of Mesos, Docker, and Spark.
