Job description

Intuit is a mission-driven, global financial platform company that gives everyone the opportunity to prosper. With products like TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, we’re using technology to build solutions to challenging financial problems for millions of people around the world.

Join the Intuit Design System (IDS) organization as a Group Manager of Software Development (M3), leading the evolution of IDS from a centrally managed design system into a scalable, self-service platform that enables product teams and AI agents to build and ship high-quality, brand-consistent, accessible UI. IDS is a high-impact platform used across Intuit, spanning component and runtime foundations, governed tokens and assets, AI-native development, and automated migration and compliance. In this role, you will lead high-performing engineering teams, set technical direction across web and mobile, and build the platform foundations that make IDS the easiest and safest way to create UI at scale.

Responsibilities

• Build, mentor, and develop high-performing engineering teams and technical leaders across web, mobile, platform infrastructure, and AI-native tooling.
• Partner with product, design, architecture, and platform teams to define strategic roadmaps, sequence investments, and manage complex cross-organizational dependencies.
• Drive scalable component and runtime foundations with strong versioning, backward compatibility, release safety, and independently managed dependencies.
• Champion AI-native and self-service development through paved roads, machine-readable component contracts, AI skills, MCP-based tooling, agentic workflows, and generative UI.
• Scale governance through extensible tokens and themes, automated policy enforcement, migration tooling, linting, dashboards, and drift detection.
• Drive operational excellence through strong reliability, observability, incident management, and platform health, adoption, and performance metrics.
• Foster a strong engineering culture focused on technical excellence, customer empathy, accountability, and sustainable execution across concurrent workstreams.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including experience managing engineers or engineering teams.
• Proven track record building or operating shared platforms, developer infrastructure, design systems, or component libraries consumed by many teams.
• Strong technical depth in architecture, API design, platform reliability, versioning strategies, staged rollouts, and breaking-change management for widely consumed systems.
• Demonstrated experience leading complex, multi-team initiatives with significant cross-organizational dependencies while balancing near‑term delivery, technical debt, and long‑term maintainability.
• Experience with modern web or mobile technologies such as React, TypeScript, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, and CI/CD practices.
• Applied AI fluency, with experience using generative AI, agentic systems, AI‑assisted code generation, or MCP‑based tooling to improve developer workflows.
• Experience with self-service developer tooling, including code generation, automated migrations, linting, policy‑as‑code, design tokens, theming, or asset pipelines.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence technical and non‑technical leaders and treat internal developers as customers.
