Full Job Description
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
  1. Meaningful Ownership An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that gives a real stake in Plaud's long-term success.
  2. High-Impact Environment Work in a fast-moving, product-driven environment where your ideas directly shape the future of AI productivity.
  3. Cutting-Edge AI Tools for Productivity Access to best-in-class AI tools, including Gemini, Claude Code, and other frontier AI systems to maximize engineering and execution efficiency.
  4. Best-in-Class Equipment Choice of top-spec laptops, high-performance workstation setups, and cutting-edge Plaud devices for all new hires.
  5. Team & Culture Annual company off-sites, team events, and a culture that values craftsmanship, ownership, and velocity.
