Hiring: Fintech Futures - Senior Staff Software Engineer Company: Intuit Location: Mountain View, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-10 10:45:02 Target Skills & Keywords : AWS, EKS, Java, JavaScript, Kubernetes, Python, Rails, TypeScript About the job Experience: •10+ years of experience developing systems/software for large business environments, with 7+ years designing complex distributed systems or platforms. Required Skills: •Identify and resolve cross-cutting technical problems with genuinely unclear definitions - including which emerging standards to commit to and which to stay agnostic across, spanning payment protocols, edge AI, and trust infrastructure. •Set technical direction across the team's active capability areas, driving architectural evolution as individual efforts mature from validated concept toward shipped product. •Distinguish foundational decisions that need deliberate, cross-team planning from those suited to fast, reversible experimentation, especially where one capability underpins several others. •Own strategic viability at every customer-facing deliverable, ensuring what the team produces is defensible against Intuit's competitive position, not just technically impressive. •Represent the team's technical strategy to SLT, BD, Legal/Compliance, and domain product leadership, translating engineering proof points into the case for organizational investment and standards influence. •Build an experimentation mindset into how the team validates bets - designing solutions to run behind experiment flags, with clear hypotheses, success metrics, and kill criteria defined before code is written, so a bet's outcome is a measured result, not a subjective call. •Excellent communication skills - clear, succinct, and persuasive with employees, customers, and management, including executives. •Strong mentoring skills, with demonstrated ability to influence and develop both junior and peer-level engineers. Qualifications: •Track record setting technical direction for a sizable organization and driving architectural evolution across highly complex, interdependent efforts. •Deep fluency with AI-native architecture and agent orchestration at a systems level. •Judgment distinguishing durable architectural bets from premature optimization, in a portfolio that evolves as the industry does. •Strong external-facing communication - comfortable making the technical and strategic case to senior non-engineering stakeholders. •Substantive expertise spanning multiple areas of the agentic money space - payments/settlement, edge AI, and identity/trust - credible enough to make calls across whatever mix of capability areas the team is currently pursuing. •Working fluency across Intuit's standard engineering stack (Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript) sufficient to set architectural standards for polyglot teams, without needing to be the deepest specialist in any single language. •Fluency with Kubernetes-based runtime architecture (e.g. AWS EKS) at an organizational level - setting standards for how services across multiple bets are deployed, scaled, and operated. •Demonstrated experience designing and running structured experiments (A/B, canary, or flagged rollouts) to validate technical bets with evidence rather than intuition, and instilling that discipline in the teams around you. •BS/MS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Compensation: •$220,500 - $298,500 / year Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
