About PLUM

PLUM is a fintech company empowering financial institutions to grow their business through a cutting-edge suite of AI-driven software, purpose-built for lenders and their partners across the financial ecosystem. We are a boutique firm, where each person's contributions and ideas are critical to the growth of the company.

The Team and Culture

This is a fully remote position, open to candidates living in the U.S. with a reliable internet connection. While we gather in person a few times a year, this role is designed to remain remote long-term. You will have autonomy and flexibility in a flat corporate structure that gives you the opportunity for your direct input to be realized and put into action. You'll collaborate with a high-performing team — including sales, marketers, and financial services experts — who stay connected through Slack, video calls, and regular team and company-wide meetings. We're a team that knows how to work hard, have fun, and make a meaningful impact—both together and individually.

About the Role

We are seeking a candidate with experience as, or applicable to, a Senior Data Engineer role with significant demonstrated experience using Python in a cloud environment to lead the design and implementation of scalable data pipelines that ingest and process data from a variety of external client systems. The Senior Data Engineer is critical in building the data infrastructure that powers Plum's next-generation AI-driven products.

You will work with a modern data stack including Python, Databricks, AWS, Delta Lake, and more. As a senior member of the team, you'll take ownership of architectural decisions, system design, and production readiness—working with team members to ensure data is reliable, accessible, and impactful.

Interview Process

Plum is an organization who counts on the contributions and ideas from every member of our team. Our interview process may include a phone screen, a video call and a live project. While we understand one may use AI to develop a resume, we expect you to bring your authentic self during our interviews, and we may disqualify candidates who use bots or AI to contribute to their answers. We are looking for not only skill, but also a desire to learn and thrive with Plum. Please advise us of any accommodations you may need prior to your call and we will do all we can to accommodate you.

We are not accepting outreach or resumes from external recruiters or other third party candidates. We are only accepting qualified eligible applicants directly for consideration. Any candidates submitted from agencies or recruiters will be considered a gift.
