NICE TO HAVE * Experience building payment integrations from the platform or PSP side, not only as a consumer of one. * Familiarity with PCI compliance and tokenization standards, including network tokens. * Prior work on payments for multi-sided marketplaces or embedded finance products. ## Description Intuit is bringing on a Principal Forward Deployed Engineer to sit inside our highest-stakes payments work: strategic customers moving real payment volume onto QuickBooks Payments, and strategic partners building QB Payments and QB Invoicing directly into their own products. This is not a generic "connect an API" integration role. It's the technical seat at the table when a business migrates live money movement off Stripe, Braintree, PayPal, Square, or Adyen - where a mishandled token, a missed reconciliation edge case, or an overlooked chargeback flow has immediate customer and revenue consequences. You will own these engagements technically end-to-end: discovery, migration design, execution, cutover, and the reusable tooling that makes the next migration faster. You'll also be the hands-on technical lead when a strategic partner needs QB Payments and QB Invoicing woven into their own solution - not handed a spec, but co-building it with them. Responsibilities WHAT YOU'LL DO * Own the technical relationship with strategic customers migrating payment processing to Intuit, from discovery through cutover and stabilization. * Design and execute migration plans for moving payment data, stored payment methods and tokens, and transaction history from processors like Stripe, Braintree, PayPal, Square, and Adyen onto QuickBooks Payments. * Partner directly with key strategic partners integrating QB Payments and QB Invoicing into their own products, acting as the hands-on technical lead for their build. * Architect for multi-entity payment structures, complex reconciliation, and payment token migration that hold up under real, live transaction volume. * Design explicitly for the parts of payments that are easiest to get wrong: refunds, chargebacks, deposit reconciliation, cash flow timing, and integrating credit or financing products. * Turn each strategic engagement into reusable migration tooling and playbooks, so every subsequent migration is faster and lower-risk than the last. * Serve as the technical escalation point when a migration hits an edge case in production - debug across the API, ledger, and reconciliation layers. * Travel to strategic customer and partner sites as needed to unblock critical migrations and integrations. ## Related Videos - [Navigating Growth, Scaling Challenges, and Office Expansions with David Singleton, CTO at Stripe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100362-navigating-growth-scaling-challenges-and-office-expansions-with-david-singleton-cto-at-stripe) - [Migrating half a million users to a new payment service provider](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/730-migrating-half-a-million-users-to-a-new-payment-service-provider) - [Using AI Without Losing Your Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2045-using-ai-without-losing-your-skills) - [The Avengers Initiative (Practical Ethics for Software Engineers)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2070-the-avengers-initiative-practical-ethics-for-software-engineers) - [Build Your Own Subscription-based Course Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/321-build-your-own-subscription-based-course-platform) - [What I learned as a developer from accidents in space](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/642-what-i-learned-as-a-developer-from-accidents-in-space) ## Related Articles - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [E-Commerce in the Agentic Age: When "Buy" Becomes a Function Call](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/750-e-commerce-in-the-agentic-age-when-buy-becomes-a-function-call) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/162-highest-paying-tech-companies-in-europe)
