Plaid · London Office
Plaid is a fintech platform that provides APIs enabling developers to connect user financial accounts to apps and services. The London office supports a global network of banks and fintech products used by companies such as Venmo and SoFi. As a Technical Support Engineer, you will act as the first point of contact for customers reporting integration issues, handling Zendesk tickets, reproducing problems, and using internal tools to diagnose failures in REST APIs, SQL queries, and front‑end code. When a problem exceeds your scope, you will coordinate with engineering, product and go‑to‑market teams to drive resolution, while keeping the customer informed throughout the process. The role also involves contributing to internal process improvements, documentation, and tooling projects alongside other support engineers. The position suits candidates with at least two years of customer‑facing experience, hands‑on exposure to REST APIs, SQL, and a programming language such as JavaScript or Python, and strong written and verbal communication. An empathetic, self‑starting attitude and the ability to juggle multiple tickets daily are essential for success.
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.
