Why You Should Join Us
Plaud is building the next generation intelligence infrastructure and interfaces to capture, extract, and utilize intelligence from what people say, hear, see, and think.
- Plaud is a bootstrapped, skyrocketing, profitable company with a $300M revenue run rate achieved in just three years.
- Define the next-gen paradigm for human-AI interaction.
- Gain exposure to cutting-edge AI for Pro tools and play a direct role in our global expansion.
- Work with passionate teammates who value innovation, collaboration, and customer success.
- Grow your career in a culture that champions continuous learning and fast career development.
- Market-competitive compensation, global exposure, and a vibrant, creativity-fueled work atmosphere.
- We're hiring the engineer who turns "someone should automate this" into "done."
What you will do
- Pick the platform, set the architecture — choose the orchestration / iPaaS (Tray, Workato, n8n…) and define the integration patterns, data contracts and auth model others build to.
- Build the integration + auth layer — connect the core stack (Okta/Entra, Rippling, NetSuite, Slack, Notion) with automated, identity-driven provisioning.
- Ship AI agents & automations — starting with quick wins, hire-to-retire, and help-desk deflection.
- Turn jobs-to-be-done into production — monitored, reliable automations with runbooks. No solo-maintained black boxes.
- Partner across the company — wire systems to Business Systems' data contracts, across all global offices
How you'll elevate Plaud
- From manual to automatic. The repetitive work that drains people quietly disappears.
- Quick wins everyone feels. You ship the automations that change how a team works the same week.
- You make the company faster. Every system you connect compounds — the whole org moves quicker.
Skills, qualifications and experience we look for
- 5+ years building integrations and/or automation in production (APIs, webhooks, SCIM, event-driven), hands-on with an iPaaS (Workato, n8n, Tray, or similar).
- Has shipped AI/LLM agents or automations end-to-end — orchestration, workflow and prompt design — not just prototypes.
- Strong engineering fundamentals and scripting (Python), with production discipline: monitoring, error handling, runbooks.
- Solid grasp of identity/auth (SSO, SCIM, OAuth) and how systems of record (HRIS, ERP, collaboration) connect.
- A builder's bias — would rather ship a rough quick win this week than perfect a plan for next quarter
What we offer
- Meaningful Ownership An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that gives a real stake in Plaud’s long-term success.
- High-Impact Environment Work in a fast-moving, product-driven environment where your ideas directly shape the future of AI productivity.
