Principal Software Engineer, Fintech Futures

Come join the Intuit as a Principal Software Engineer and help us power prosperity around the world. We are looking for engineers that love to take on new challenges, solve tough problems, and have deep empathy for our customers. You’ll work with a small group of passionate engineers, product managers and designers.

Money is being rewritten to run on AI agents - systems that initiate, authorize, and settle transactions with no human in the loop. The protocols that will govern that shift are being authored right now, by a small number of companies, in real time. Fintech Futures is where Intuit shows up to that table: an engineering team defining and validating the next generation of fintech integration protocols - spanning agentic payment settlement, edge AI and on-device financial intelligence, and verifiable financial trust.

This is not a proof-of-concept shop. Every solution is built against production-grade architecture, run on real Intuit data and real rails, and judged on the qualities that separate a real system from a demo: scalability under real transaction volume, security and compliance posture that can survive external review, reliability and observability once it's live, and maintainability so what graduates doesn't collapse the moment someone other than its author has to extend it. Velocity matters, because the window to shape these standards is measured in weeks and months, not years, but speed here means proving things fast and well, not proving them fast and forgettably.

At Principal Engineer, you shape the technical direction of how Intuit participates in - and influences - the platform shift to agentic money. The window to do this is real but finite: once the industry's protocols finalize, they either embed Intuit's verified financial context and edge AI capability as first-class citizens, or they route around them. Your job is ensuring the former.
