Full Job Description
Intuit's Fintech API team is rebuilding the API platform for a world where AI agents, not human developers, are the primary consumers of fintech capabilities. We're moving from hand-written OpenAPI specs and ad-hoc MCP wrappers to a model where every fintech capability is defined once as a Capability Spec, with OpenAPI schemas, Skill manifests, and MCP tools auto-generated and enforced at PR time. This work already powers the QuickBooks Connector on Claude and ChatGPT, with 40+ Fintech tools live in production and early signal from engaged invoicing and Capital loan customers.

We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to help build the next layer of this platform: the Unified Fintech API, the Capability Spec authoring system, and the agent-readiness tooling that makes every fintech capability safely and reliably invocable by autonomous agents at scale. This is a foundational, cross-team role shaping how Intuit's financial capabilities show up in the agentic era.

Responsibilities
  • Architect the Capability Spec framework - the single editable source of truth from which OpenAPI schemas, Skill manifests, MCP tool definitions, and portal docs are auto-generated
  • Drive consolidation of fragmented, team-specific API surfaces into the Unified Fintech API, a composable, agent-ready contract
  • Build CI/CD enforcement - PR gates, validation rules, drift detection - that blocks hand-edits to generated artifacts and keeps specs, code, and docs in sync
  • Build tooling to auto-generate Functional and Integration Skills, MCP tools, and client SDKs directly from Capability Specs
  • Set technical direction across the Fintech API and Agent-Ready Enabler teams; mentor engineers and influence architecture and roadmap decisions without relying on direct authority


Qualifications
  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, with deep API design and distributed systems experience at scale
  • Demonstrated Staff-level (or equivalent) technical leadership: driving cross-team architecture decisions and setting technical direction across multiple teams
  • Strong background in API platforms - OpenAPI/REST design, schema-driven codegen, API lifecycle and developer portal tooling
  • Hands-on experience with AI agent tooling - MCP (Model Context Protocol), LLM tool/function calling, or agentic developer platforms (Claude, ChatGPT Actions)
  • Experience building CI/CD systems, codegen pipelines, or platform tooling that enforces contracts at scale
  • Familiarity with fintech domains (payments, lending, payroll, wallet) and the safety/compliance requirements of agent-initiated financial actions is a strong plus
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; able to build alignment across engineering, product, and compliance stakeholders


  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience
