## About the Role

* BS/MS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience
 * 2+ years of professional software engineering experience
 * Strong programming skills in Java, Python, or Kotlin (or a similar language), and solid fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and distributed systems
 * Experience building and running services in a cloud environment (AWS preferred)

 * Experience with event-driven architectures and customer data platforms

## Description

Our team is building the contextual knowledge stack: the foundation that captures, structures, and serves customer context so Intuit's AI experiences understand each customer and act on it responsibly. That includes a structured memory store, activity and event modeling, and the retrieval layers that AI agents use to personalize across TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Credit Karma.

As a Software Engineer 2, you'll design and build the services and data pipelines behind this stack. You'll work at scale, with a high bar for privacy, data quality, and reliability, and with real ownership of what you ship.

Responsibilities

What you'll do

 * Build and operate backend services, APIs, and data pipelines that ingest, structure, and serve customer context in real time and in batch
 * Contribute to the design of the structured memory store and the knowledge and context retrieval layers that agents use
 * Implement data quality, lineage, and access-control requirements so context is accurate, governed, and safe to use
 * Partner with product, ML, and platform teams to integrate context into AI-powered customer experiences
 * Write well-tested, observable, production-ready code, and take part in design reviews, code reviews, and on-call
 * Break down ambiguous problems, propose solutions, and deliver features end to end with growing independence
