Join a fast-paced team responsible for technical direction, integration tests, and scalable backend and frontend services. You’ll mentor engineers, design resilient systems, and drive reliability using modern cloud-native tools.

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, distributed systems and APIs.
• Deep expertise in Front end stack (React preferred).
• Strong track record designing platform integrations and managing API contracts, versioning, and backward compatibility.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD and progressive delivery (Argo CD) and with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes).
• Fluency in operational excellence — observability, on-call, incident response, and reliability improvements.
• Demonstrated technical leadership: driving cross-team alignment, influencing without authority, and mentorship.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, and the judgment to balance delivery speed against long-term platform health.

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.
