Software Engineer - Android Plaid
San Francisco, CA

Job Description

The product engineering team strives to make interacting with financial data not only better, but delightful. We believe that the key to solving finance's biggest problems lies in meeting modern user expectations. As the gateway for thousands of applications like Coinbase, Qapital, or Truebill, Plaid's platform calls for innovative problem solvers interested in tackling the complex challenges that exist in the financial ecosystem and scaling developer and user-facing systems to millions of users.

To develop top-tier, heavy-UI applications like Plaid Link, we are looking for people who excel across the disciplines of mobile engineering. This means a deep understanding of the native platforms, full-stack systems, scalability and performance, the nature of the HTTP protocol, and the varied edge cases in mobile devices.

What excites you

* Working on an Android SDK using Java
* Native SDKs that can be dropped into third-party applications
* The possibility to work remotely
* Working with engineers with an eye for design and designers who code
* Products with real impact: Your work will touch tens of millions of end users, the best applications in fintech, and major U.S. financial institutions
* Digging through finance's complex challenges-and reimagining the experience completely
* You're a remote engineer looking to join a company with an amazing remote team and remote culture

What excites us

* A minimum of 3 years of experience building Android applications in industry experience
* Profound understanding of (and passion for) Android with an enthusiasm for building components and systems with reliability and long term support in mind
* UI instincts, but not necessarily the ability to create comps from scratch
* iOS knowledge is a big plus
* A background in startups is a plus
* Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience in Computer Science, Engineering, or a closely related field
