One contract, many hosts, many plugins. You will leverage the connective tissue of the Super App - a small set of shared platform primitives that every experience plugs into: Federated Identity, Neo Banking, Money / Payments / Stablecoin, and the Intuit Data Exchange (an in-house, consented financial-data layer). Your charter is to make the marginal cost of the next product, and the next host, collapse toward zero. Collaborate with a dream team of product visionaries, design maestros, engineering wizards, data science gurus, and legal and compliance experts to: * Craft a technical vision for a Super App platform that disrupts the status quo of one-off integrations * Build a secure, sandboxed embedding runtime and a versioned plugin contract that any host and any product can adopt * Establish Federated Identity as the seamless, zero-click trust fabric across Intuit and Credit Karma * Drive execution with precision and passion - turning today's bespoke embeds into a repeatable platform Responsibilities * Drive strategic thinking and results-oriented execution, framing the Super App as a platform bet rather than a set of features. * Build high-performing teams by placing the right people in the right roles at the right time. * Foster innovation by encouraging new ideas and leading by example. * Inspire and empower engineers to bring their best ideas forward, leveraging deep DS/ML and AI technologies to solve customer problems. * Create and launch customer-driven platform capabilities that address current needs and build for the future. * Champion an inner-sourcing culture so partner teams can contribute plugins and capabilities without compromising platform integrity or customer experience. * Create a shared vision and maintain strong cross-functional relationships with partners across Workforce, TurboTax, Credit Karma, Identity, Risk, and Compliance. * Demonstrate patience, resilience, and the ability to thrive in challenging, ambiguous, or intense situations. * Display humility and courage in proposing, developing, and defending ideas passionately. * Continuously improve workplace efficiency by adjusting processes, organizational structures, and tools. ## Related Videos - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) - [Get started with securing your cloud-native Java microservices applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/123-get-started-with-securing-your-cloud-native-java-microservices-applications) - [Delay the AI Overlords: How OAuth and OpenFGA Can Keep Your AI Agents from Going Rogue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1637-delay-the-ai-overlords-how-oauth-and-openfga-can-keep-your-ai-agents-from-going-rogue) - [Delegating the chores of authenticating users to Keycloak](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1558-delegating-the-chores-of-authenticating-users-to-keycloak) - [Building the Next Generation of Software](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100186-building-the-next-generation-of-software) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/162-highest-paying-tech-companies-in-europe) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How Much FAANG Companies Actually Pay Software Engineers in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/230-how-much-faang-companies-actually-pay-software-engineers-in-2025) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries)
