Job Description

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, Seattle, Washington D.C., Raleigh, London, and Amsterdam. The design team at Plaid is made up of product designers, researchers, and content strategists who work with our cross-functional partners to create Plaid’s products. Please visit to learn more about the Design team. The Consumer team at Plaid builds and owns the key consumer touchpoints from Plaid: Plaid Link and our future direct to consumer experiences. Plaid Link is the embedded UX that all of Plaid’s customers integrate in order to securely have their end-users share their bank data via Plaid, and Plaid’s core business is built on consumer trust and confidence in that platform. It’s this team’s responsibility to build on the success of the existing platform to keep innovating and delivering high quality consumer experiences that unlock financial freedom for users leveraging Plaid’s products. We're looking for an experienced Product Designer to own the design of Plaid’s consumer experiences. This is novel scope: a first-party, direct-to-consumer product inside a company most people know only through other companies' apps. You'll be the sole designer on a small, senior team, partnering closely with one PM and one engineering lead (as well as a nimble team of IC engineers). Your pod is also part of the larger Consumer team, and you’ll get to work across it on other projects too. You'll set the quality bar for the surface and take work from ambiguous problem to shipped, polished detail. We care a great deal about craft here — this is the product where Plaid's brand is judged directly by consumers, so the details are the substance, not the finish. We also work fast, and we expect the person in this role to have already made agentic development a real part of how they design and build. Responsibilities:

• Own consumer surface design end to end, from problem definition through pixel-level polish
• Set and hold the visual and interaction quality bar for Plaid's consumer product
• Partner directly with product and engineering from planning through execution, shaping what gets built
• Build working prototypes — including with AI agents — to test ideas before committing engineering time
• Produce high-quality work from
