Technical Support Engineer - New York

Job Description

At Plaid, we build products being used to enable thousands of developers to build the next generation of financial services applications. Plaid Support ensures these applications can help consumers live their best financial lives by ensuring our products continue to operate as expected. We investigate the root cause of product issues, we quantify their scope and impact and when we can’t fix them ourselves, we work with our Growth and Engineering teams to reach a solution. NY Technical Support Engineers (TSEs) manage issues from their first symptom to their eventual resolution, communicating with our customers and internal stakeholders throughout the process, with a focus on supporting our investments and liabilities products.
