Job description

Come join Intuit as a Senior Staff Software Engineer! We're constantly evolving to deliver on our mission to power prosperity around the world. As a Senior Staff Engineer, you'll lead complex application segments end-to-end. You'll design durable software, build AI-native applications using commoditized AI, and influence technology direction across teams and domains. You'll solve hard cross-cutting problems and accelerate the engineers around you. Intuit is a global technology platform that helps consumers and small businesses overcome their most important financial challenges. On the Fintech Invoicing & Payments team, we build the AI-native sales transaction experience for QuickBooks Online — the Platform where small businesses get paid. As a Senior Staff Software Engineer on the team, you will drive significant, end-to-end technology initiatives across both horizontal layers — from the React form a merchant sees to the MCP tool an agent calls to the GraphQL/STS write that lands in QuickBooks — executing with a boundaryless mindset and contributing well outside any single repo's ownership. The hard, domain-specific work here is making an LLM reliably and safely operate a real accounting system: writing tool descriptions and structured-content contracts precise enough that the model stops asking redundant clarifying questions yet never corrupts a ledger. You'll partner across a highly matrixed set of stakeholders (Omni, the QBO monolith, payments, design, and external MCP-host partners) to translate customer behavior into durable, scalable, secure designs that balance short-term delivery against long-term architecture. Critically, you'll guide where AI genuinely helps and where it doesn't: you bring a deep, hands-on understanding of LLMs and prompt/tool-description engineering, agent orchestration (LangChain/LangGraph-style frameworks), and the evaluation tooling needed to validate accuracy and prevent regressions before they reach a customer's books. Responsibilities • Drives velocity in the organization by accelerating customer, business, and technology outcomes by identifying and driving key opportunities across the company. • Drives significant technology initiatives end-to-end, including horizontal layers of the architecture. • Understands customer behaviors and partners with cross-functional partners to influence and drive end-to-end solutions for customer problems. • Drives design and implementation of durable software solutions that will solve critical customer problems in a fast-paced environment. • Executes with a boundaryless mindset and contributes to solutions outside of their primary area of ownership. • Knowledge of building AI native applications. • Prior working experience in teams that have built AI native applications for 1+ years. • Guides the applicability of AI to customer problems through a deep understanding of the value and limitations of AI technologies. • Understands evaluation tools to validate and measure the accuracy of solutions. • High-level understanding of how AI models work, the different types of AI models that exist, and their pros and cons. • Understanding of the latest tools and technologies that apply AI to real-world applications. • Creates robust, scalable, and secure technical designs, effectively implementing them to balance short-term and long-term objectives, ensuring high availability and optimal performance of applications. • Passionate for continuous learning, experimenting, and applying cutting-edge technology and software paradigms to solve customer problems. Qualifications • Ability to drive velocity in a highly matrixed environment, partnering with numerous stakeholders. • 10+ years of experience developing systems/software for large business environments. • 7+ years of experience designing complex distributed systems, management products, or business applications. • Full-stack development experience with AI technologies/tools and apply it to user experiences or backend solutions. • Experience with AI technologies like SageMaker, Vert.x, LangChain, Large Language Models, Prompt Engineering, DialogFlow, Python. Experience with at least one of the following: • Front-end technologies like React, Angular. • Back-end technologies like Java, Typescript, Spring, Express (NodeJS). • Prior working experience in a cloud computing environment like AWS/GCP is highly desired. • Prior experience working in teams that have built AI native applications for 1+ years BS/MS in Computer Science or related area. • Explicit experience with coding using ChatGPT and Claude, including the development of custom plugins or applications.
