## About the Role

AWS EKS) - service topology, scaling, and deployment patterns - since prototypes on this team are expected to run on standard cloud-native infrastructure, not bespoke hosting. + BS/MS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. **TEAM & LEADERSHIP SKILLS** + Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills; able to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders. + Strong mentoring skills, with a track record of helping engineers grow technically and navigate ambiguity. + Self-starter attitude with the ability to make sound decisions independently and drive alignment across teams. + Effective at driving outcomes across cross-functional teams while maintaining strong working relationships. + Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving technical environment where the roadmap itself is still being defined. **Nice to Haves** + Prior involvement in an open standards body or protocol working group. +

## Description

The capabilities this team builds - agent-initiated settlement, edge AI-driven financial agents running locally on-device, and portable verifiable trust - are how that asset becomes something agents can actually call on. **Responsibilities** **What You'll Do** + Own the technical vision for a major capability area - whether that's agent-initiated settlement, edge AI-driven on-device financial agents, or portable verifiable trust - architected to hold up as the underlying standards continue to converge. + Lead technical design that positions Intuit's engineering work as a credible input to the industry conversation, not just an internal build. + Anticipate cross-system risk that spans dependencies across the portfolio, where one capability becomes the foundation others are built on. + Act as the connective tissue between engineering and domain/compliance stakeholders, turning technical proof points into the case for what should scale into a real product. + Champion strategic

the versatility to shift focus as the space matures. + Fluency across Intuit's standard engineering stack (Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript with React/Node) sufficient to set technical direction and review code across a polyglot team, plus the judgment to bring in new languages or frameworks where a bet genuinely requires it. + Fluency operating and making design decisions on Kubernetes-based runtimes (e.g.
