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.

- Partner across Plaid to create cohesive experiences across account setup, risk management, and money movement.
- Represent Plaid internally and externally as a product thought leader, shaping how customers, partners, and the industry view account verification.
- Operate like an owner. Move quickly, make bold decisions, and bring creative energy to scaling one of Plaid’s most essential products.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 10+ years of experience, including 5+ in product management or equivalent founder/operator roles.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Product Owner Jobs at Plaid Jobs
Frame your fintech domain expertise early
Plaid's Product Owner roles center on open banking, data connectivity, and developer-facing APIs. Highlight any experience with financial data products, payment rails, or regulated tech environments in your resume before you apply.
Confirm OPT STEM extension eligibility upfront
Product Owner roles at technology companies like Plaid typically fall under STEM-eligible SOC codes. Verify your degree qualifies for the 24-month STEM OPT extension through your DSO before your initial 12 months expire.
Use Migrate Mate to target open Product Owner roles
Plaid posts Product Owner positions across product lines and geographies at different times. Use Migrate Mate to filter for Plaid roles that explicitly support visa sponsorship so you're not applying blindly to positions that won't move forward.
Align your application to the H-1B specialty occupation standard
H-1B eligibility requires that the role demands a degree in a specific field. For Product Owner positions, a background in computer science, information systems, or engineering strengthens the specialty occupation argument USCIS will evaluate.
Understand how PERM affects your long-term path
If Plaid sponsors you for an EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card, the DOL PERM labor certification process requires demonstrating no qualified U.S. workers are available. That recruitment process takes months and typically begins after you've proven yourself in the role.

Find Product Owner at Plaid JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Plaid sponsor H-1B visas for Product Owners?
Yes, Plaid sponsors H-1B visas for Product Owner roles. The company operates in financial technology infrastructure, and Product Owner positions typically qualify as specialty occupations under USCIS standards given their requirement for a degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field. You'll want to confirm sponsorship availability for the specific role you're applying to, as not every open position is guaranteed to include it.
Which visa types are commonly used for Product Owner roles at Plaid?
Product Owners at Plaid most commonly work on H-1B status, but the company also supports F-1 OPT and F-1 CPT for candidates earlier in their career. TN visas are an option for Canadian and Mexican nationals whose background fits the qualifying USMCA occupational categories. For longer-term paths, Plaid has sponsored EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card petitions through the PERM process for employees in this function.
How do I apply for Product Owner jobs at Plaid?
Applications go through Plaid's careers page, where Product Owner roles are listed by team and product area. Before applying, confirm that the posting indicates visa sponsorship availability. You can browse and filter Plaid's open Product Owner positions that support work visa sponsorship on Migrate Mate, which surfaces roles specifically tagged for international candidates so you can prioritize where to spend your time.
What qualifications does Plaid expect for Product Owner roles?
Plaid's Product Owner roles generally require a technical undergraduate degree and hands-on experience owning a product roadmap in a software or fintech environment. Experience with APIs, developer tooling, or financial data products is a strong differentiator. For visa sponsorship purposes, having a degree in computer science, information systems, or engineering also reinforces the specialty occupation classification that H-1B requires.
How do I manage visa timing during the hiring process at Plaid?
If you're on F-1 OPT, confirm your expiration date before accepting an offer and discuss the H-1B sponsorship timeline with your recruiter early. USCIS's H-1B cap filing window opens each April for an October start, so if your OPT expires before October and you haven't been selected in the lottery, you'll need a cap-exempt solution or a STEM extension to bridge the gap.
