Job summary

Plaid is seeking an experienced Product Designer to own the design of Plaid's consumer experiences. This is a first-party, direct-to-consumer scope inside a company known for its apps. You will be the sole designer on a small, senior team collaborating with a PM and an engineering lead.

You will set the quality bar for the surface, move from ambiguous problems to shipped polished details, and bring craft to the center of Plaid's brand as it touches consumers.

Qualifications

• 4+ years creating and shipping quality digital products, with consumer experience across mobile and web.
• Exceptional visual and interaction craft — you can build nearly anything yourself, and the details are right.
• You've genuinely integrated AI agents into how you design and build, and can speak to what that changed
• Strong verbal and visual presentation skills and an articulate point of view about design
• A proven record of influencing team direction and planning, and of tying design to business goals and metrics
• Nice to have: you ship your own code, or have worked as a design engineer

Responsibilities

• Own consumer surface design end to end, from problem definition through pixel-level polish
• Set and hold the visual and interaction quality bar for Plaid's consumer product
• Partner directly with product and engineering from planning through execution, shaping what gets built
• Build working prototypes — including with AI agents — to test ideas before committing engineering time
• Produce high-quality work from wireframes and user flows to pixel-perfect prototypes with delightful interactions
• Advocate for consumers and for user-centered process across the team
• Contribute to design culture through collaboration, presenting work, and sharing feedback
