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 Integrations Operations Engineering (IOE) team strengthens Plaid's network with financial institutions by directly resolving integration issues to increase the reliability and quality of data, and by building new integrations to grow our financial network. We sit at the nexus of engineering, a deep understanding of Plaid's products and customers, and direct financial-institution relationships: we write and ship the code that keeps connectivity healthy, we use data to focus on the issues with the greatest customer impact, and we work directly with data partners (the financial institutions and platforms themselves) to resolve the problems that can't be fixed from our side alone. The team plays a mission-critical role in ensuring industry-leading connectivity so our customers can meet ever-expanding financial-services use cases and reach as many users as possible. What You'll Do Investigate and resolve the highest-impact integration issues by writing maintainable, tested code and deploying it to production, then monitor for regression or degradation after your changes ship. Prioritize by customer impact. The team runs a business-value-based prioritization model that automatically

About the Team OpenAI didn’t begin as a traditional company. It began as an idea: that artificial intelligence could be developed in a way that benefits everyone. As a creative team, our role is to help make sure the work behind that idea is understood, as it leaves the lab and meets the world. This company works at the frontier of intelligence. Like any frontier, it’s unfinished, constantly shifting, and still being explored. Our job is to stay close to that uncertainty and help shape how this story gets told, in a way that feels grounded and human. We do this through campaigns, launches, films, brand systems, and work that doesn’t fit neatly into any of those categories yet. This team is for people who want to help shape something from the beginning. About the Role We are seeking a Web Producer to own the execution and delivery of web projects across OpenAI.com . You’ll drive work from intake through launch, translating briefs into clear production plans, coordinating cross-functional inputs, managing timelines and dependencies, and ensuring every experience is accurate, polished, and delivered on time. You’ll partner closely with Marketing, Growth, Product, Design, Communications, and Engineering to operationalize web work in a fast-moving environment.
