Hiring: Fintech Futures - Staff Software Engineer Company: Intuit Location: New York, NY Job Posted Time: 2026-09-03 10:45:02 Target Skills & Keywords : AWS, EKS, Java, JavaScript, Kubernetes, Node.js, Python, Rails, React, TypeScript About the job Experience: •8+ years of experience developing software for large-scale business environments, with 5+ years designing complex distributed systems. Required Skills: •Own the technical vision for a major capability area - whether that's agent-initiated settlement, edge AI-driven on-device financial agents, or portable verifiable trust - architected to hold up as the underlying standards continue to converge. •Lead technical design that positions Intuit's engineering work as a credible input to the industry conversation, not just an internal build. •Anticipate cross-system risk that spans dependencies across the portfolio, where one capability becomes the foundation others are built on. •Act as the connective tissue between engineering and domain/compliance stakeholders, turning technical proof points into the case for what should scale into a real product. •Champion strategic investment in a specific frontier technology, shaping how the broader team and Intuit's standing in the industry evolve. •Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills; able to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders. •Strong mentoring skills, with a track record of helping engineers grow technically and navigate ambiguity. •Self-starter attitude with the ability to make sound decisions independently and drive alignment across teams. Qualifications: •Demonstrated ownership of a complex technical domain end-to-end, with a track record of setting direction others build against. •Demonstrated capacity to resolve deep technical and organizational ambiguity - this team defines problems the industry hasn't fully specified yet. •Proven fluency in agent-driven development: architecting for agentic observability and reliable autonomous code navigation and modification. •Strong cross-functional partnership skills, working daily with domain and compliance stakeholders to move work from proof point to product path. •Deep expertise in a frontier fintech infrastructure area - payments/settlement, edge AI, or identity/trust systems - with the versatility to shift focus as the space matures. •Fluency across Intuit's standard engineering stack (Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript with React/Node) sufficient to set technical direction and review code across a polyglot team, plus the judgment to bring in new languages or frameworks where a bet genuinely requires it. •Fluency operating and making design decisions on Kubernetes-based runtimes (e.g. AWS EKS) - service topology, scaling, and deployment patterns - since prototypes on this team are expected to run on standard cloud-native infrastructure, not bespoke hosting. •BS/MS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Compensation: •$202,500 - $274,000 / year Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
