Sydney Busch Weber reposted thisSydney Busch Weber reposted thisFor most people, money is still harder than it should be. If AI is going to matter in finance, it has to make financial products genuinely more helpful, secure, and responsive to real life. I’ve spent the last decade building large-scale data networks, and I’m convinced the next chapter of financial services won’t just be about access to data, it will be about understanding it. Open finance unlocked secure, permissioned connectivity. That foundation enabled a generation of innovation. Now AI is ushering in the next wave of innovation. Intelligent finance means systems that understand context, adapt in real time, and continuously improve. It means stopping fraud without adding unnecessary friction. It means making better decisions across payments, credit, and identity, with the accuracy and trust this industry demands. It also requires infrastructure that is purpose-built and understands how money moves. At Plaid, we’re building intelligence models that learn from patterns across our network and compounds with scale. As part of that work, we’ve developed our first transaction foundation model for finance to deepen how financial activity is understood across products. I believe this shift from open finance to intelligent finance will define the next decade. I wrote more about how we’re approaching it here: https://lnkd.in/gV35NPbyWhy intelligent finance needs purpose-built AI infrastructure | PlaidWhy intelligent finance needs purpose-built AI infrastructure | Plaid

Sydney Busch Weber shared thisOne of the many reasons I chose to join Coinbase, was how leaned into AI they were in the recruiting process (and across the whole company). And almost two months in, it has not disappointed! If you want to join in on the fun, see our open positions here: https://lnkd.in/gdeiKBHASydney Busch Weber shared thisAt Coinbase we embrace innovation and techno-optimism in all that we do. For our hiring that means infusing AI into every aspect of our process with the goal of fundamentally reshaping how recruitment works. I am excited to share how we’re using AI across our recruiting process, including our piloting of a new AI recruiting agent for initial phone screens on select roles (with plans to apply to all eligible roles in 2026). If you’re excited about pushing boundaries on the status quo, check out our open positions (link in comments). https://lnkd.in/ebBjb8pK

It’s rare to see a product that genuinely resonates with developers paired with real business momentum. Convex is building with a level of care and intent you don’t see very often. It’s a small, exceptional team that cares deeply about solving hard problems. I’m excited to help grow the team from here. If that sounds like your kind of place, come join us: convex.dev/jobs

The sessions were all amazing, but the ability to connect (and re-connect) with stunning colleagues pushing the frontiers of data was my favorite part of the day. I’m already looking forward to DEOF 2027!

Sydney Busch Weber reacted on thisSydney Busch Weber reacted on thisAfter over 15 years working in tech, it’s my turn to share that my Chief of Staff role was eliminated after the latest reorg at Lyft. My last day was Monday. Over 6 years, I had the chance to work on challenging problems across a wide range of teams (People, Design, Customers, Rider, Safety, Driver) at a constantly evolving company, particularly since I started in late 2019, post-IPO but right before the business was severely impacted by COVID. Whether it was debating return to office policies, relocating employees impacted by war, saving millions for the company without cutting jobs, preparing for high stakes board + investor meetings, or hosting impactful leadership offsites, what made me excited to show up to work everyday was the people - they are smart, caring, and want the best for our customers. An interesting thing about being a Chief of Staff is that most of what you do is behind the scenes. The impact you are striving towards is your exec and your team being the best and most effective they can be, and that isn’t always something that can be measured. I appreciate so many for seeing that value. Special thanks to Heather Torres for bringing me to Lyft and shepherding us through challenging times, to Audrey Liu for being my always & forever #1, and to Jordan Glassberg for taking leadership during a nebulous time and helping us all find our footing. Now, I plan to take some time to figure out what’s next. A quote I heard awhile ago that has been running through my head lately is, “Who are you without the doing?” I’m excited to find out.
