Are you passionate about creating transformative AI solutions? We're looking for a creative and technically hands-on Staff AI Scientist to join our AI Foundations team , where we're building state-of-the-art GenAI capabilities powering products across Intuit. In this role, you'll help design and scale our LLMOps and evaluation infrastructure , enable agentic AI systems, and champion Responsible AI principles-accelerating how we embed ML into everything from customer care to security and personalized financial guidance. You'll collaborate with a high-caliber team of ML engineers, data scientists, PMs, and architects to advance Intuit's AI platform and ensure it drives real business and customer outcomes. Responsibilities • Drive End-to-End AI Solutions : Lead the design, development, and deployment of GenAI and ML models. Translate complex, ambiguous customer problems into scalable, production-ready solutions with measurable impact. • Own GenAI Evaluation Frameworks : Architect internal tooling such as LLM leaderboards, benchmark suites, and experimentation pipelines to support model selection and performance tracking. • Advance LLMOps Capabilities : Define and implement best practices for model lifecycle management, spanning development, deployment, monitoring, and retraining-while optimizing for cost and reliability. • Steward Responsible AI Principles : Embed fairness, transparency, and safety into AI development by proactively identifying risks (e.g., hallucinations, bias, privacy) and collaborating on governance workflows. • Cross-Functional Leadership : Partner with PM, engineering, and design to shape product strategy and deliver GenAI capabilities aligned to user needs and business goals. • Technology Strategy & Innovation : Evaluate and apply emerging techniques (e.g., RAG, prompt chaining, orchestration) to Intuit's GenAI platform. Influence technology decisions and help define long-term strategy. • Mentorship & Culture Building : Mentor other scientists and engineers, contributing to a high-performance, inclusive AI science community that promotes innovation and craft excellence. • Executive Communication : Communicate AI tradeoffs and strategy clearly to technical and non-technical leaders. Influence roadmaps with data, insights, and a deep understanding of customer needs. Qualifications • Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. • 8+ years of experience in applied ML/AI, with a strong track record of delivering scalable, production-grade AI systems. • Deep hands-on experience with agentic AI workflows using modern Python-based frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, LlamaIndex, LangChain), including memory management, orchestration, semantic search, tool use, and contextual reasoning. • Expertise in GenAI system design, including LLM integration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and evaluation/observability frameworks for LLMs or AI agents. • Experience designing APIs and deploying ML services in cloud-native environments (e.g., AWS, GCP), using containerization and CI/CD best practices. • Demonstrated success partnering across disciplines (PM, Eng, DS) to deliver innovative AI features with clear business/customer impact. • Excellent communication and influence skills with a track record of presenting complex technical ideas clearly to diverse audiences. • Strong product intuition and an ability to identify strategic opportunities for AI in user experiences and platform capabilities. • Bonus : Familiarity with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and its role in connecting AI agents with tools and external data for richer, adaptive workflows.
