Applied Risk Standards Specialist in San Francisco

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, Washington D.C., London and Amsterdam. Our Fraud team's mission is to help companies detect and prevent fraud using Plaid's financial network data. We believe that transaction patterns, device signals, identity linkages, and behavioral data are dramatically underleveraged tools in fraud prevention. Our products — including Protect and Signal — operate at network scale and depend on real-world investigation and research to stay ahead of adaptive adversaries.

About the Team The Future of Computing Research team is an applied research team within the Consumer Devices group focused on developing new methods, models, and evaluation frameworks that support our vision for the future of computing. We work at the frontier of multimodal AI, helping turn emerging model capabilities into product experiences that are useful, delightful, and worthy of long-term trust. Our work explores a new class of AI systems that can learn over time, adapt to individuals, and support people in the flow of daily life. This includes long-term memory, user modeling, and personalization systems that are aligned not just with immediate satisfaction, but with a person’s broader goals, values, and well-being. We work closely across research, engineering, design, product, and safety to define what it means to build AI systems that know you over time, act at the right moment, and help in ways that are context-aware, respectful, and demonstrably beneficial. About the Role We are looking for a Research Engineer / Scientist to join the Future of Computing Research team to work on RLHF and post-training for personalized, multimodal AI systems. This role will focus on building the learning and evaluation foundations that help models become more context-aware, adaptive, and useful over time. You will work on problems such as reward modeling, preference learning, long-horizon evaluation, and policy improvement for systems that must make high-quality behavioral decisions in realistic user settings. The work is deeply product-grounded: success is not just higher benchmark performance, but better model behavior in real-world use. The ideal candidate is excited about pushing beyond one-turn assistant behavior toward systems that improve through feedback, learn from richer signals, and are trained against meaningful notions of user value. Internally, that maps closely to the need for careful reward design, feedback loops, and evaluation frameworks that test whether i
