Company Overview

Intuit is the global financial technology platform that powers prosperity for the people and communities we serve. With approximately 100 million customers worldwide using products such as TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to prosper. We never stop working to find new, innovative ways to make that possible.

Job Overview

We're cultivating a culture that prioritizes innovators, risk-takers, and imaginative thinkers. In pursuit of becoming AI-native, we recognize that fostering a “builder” mindset is essential. This means seeking out those who can seamlessly integrate AI and emerging technologies to efficiently and effectively solve our customers' problems. Come join the team and get involved in building the next-generation Change Management platform for Intuit.


The Change Management team builds the platform that makes production change at Intuit safe, fast, and observable. We own the Change Management Service (CMS) and the experiences developers rely on to ship with confidence. Our work sits at the intersection of developer productivity and operational reliability: every change that moves through Intuit's paved roads touches something we build.


Responsibilities


  • Own the technical direction and low-level design for core Change Management platform services, setting patterns other engineers build on.

  • Champion contract stability across producers and consumers — establish integration tests and guardrails so breaking changes are caught before they cause downstream incidents.

  • Operate as a senior technical voice in design reviews, cross-team interlocks, and incident retrospectives, and mentor engineers across the team.

  • Use your coding expertise to design and implement scalable, modular, and secure services and infrastructure, providing reliability solutions to all of Intuit.

  • Work as part of a fast-paced scrum team with accountability and extreme ownership.

  • Develop, test, and deploy your own code.

  • Integrate Agentic workflows into backend and front-end services.


Qualifications


  • 8+ years of software engineering experience building and operating production platform or infrastructure services at scale.

  • Deep expertise in a modern backend stack (Go Preferred) and in designing resilient, well-instrumented distributed systems and APIs. 

  • Deep expertise in Front end stack (React preferred). 

  • A strong track record designing platform integrations and managing API contracts, versioning, and backward compatibility across many consuming teams.

  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD and progressive delivery (Argo CD, canary/blue-green rollouts) and with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes).

  • Fluency in operational excellence — observability, on-call, incident response, and using production signal to drive reliability improvements.

  • Demonstrated technical leadership: driving cross-team alignment, influencing without authority, and raising the engineering bar through design and mentorship.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication, and the judgment to balance delivery speed against long-term platform health.
