Job Description

Plaid is building the infrastructure that powers the future of financial services. Our core constituency is developers, and as a Developer Advocate you'll help build and maintain the developer community. They're the interface between our products and our most technical customers.

As a Developer Advocate, you'll build and maintain strong relationships with engineers and product managers across all parts of financial technology. Your core focus will be on engaging with startups and soon-to-be startups, but you'll also spend time working with indie developers and those at large companies. You'll also focus on crafting fantastic resources, including demos, code samples, documentation, how-to guides, and blog posts. Your goal will be to create a strong community focused on building fantastic tools and services, and serve as a champion for developers across fintech.

Externally you will:

* Build awareness of Plaid and inspire developers to build on top of Plaid's products and APIs
* Participate in the fintech ecosystem and community, building strong relationships with engineers, product managers, and founders
* Create opportunities for the community to contribute to Plaid, from startups and soon-to-be startups to engineers at large companies
* Craft and maintain world-class resources for developers beyond our API and SDK, such as demos, code samples, documentation, how-to guides, and blog posts
* Hack on new and unique ways to grow and better engage with developers
* Champion Plaid's products to developers through speaking at conferences, contributing to and hosting events, and engaging through other channels

Internally at Plaid, you will:

* Source and filter developer feedback and sentiment about Plaid, working closely with product managers
* Advocate for 3rd party developers internally, and make sure that everyone in engineering, product, design, and support has a consistent understanding of our developers' needs
* Work closely with marketing on our brand

What excites us

* You're one of the friendliest people you know and a natural networker
* Inherently altruistic and wanting to help solve other people's problems
* Strong engineering background and comfort working across multiple languages
* Highly creative and energetic
* A history of participating in developer communities, whether through open source contributions, hackathons, meetups, or other avenues
* Engaging communicator, both written and in-person
* Excitement about speaking publicly and representing Plaid to large audiences
* Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
* Excited to travel regularly
* Scrappiness as we are still small and actively building the Developer Relations team

We'd love to hear from you! Please include links to your online presence (ex: Github, StackOverflow, Quora, Twitter, LinkedIn), a code sample or two (if not already on Github), and any blog posts/talks you're proud of.
