Staff Machine Learning Engineer

Overview

1. The Core Mission

At Intuit, a Staff ML Engineer acts as a bridge between research (Data Science) and engineering (Production). You are not just building models; you are architecting the systems that allow those models to serve 100 million+ customers across products like QuickBooks

2. Strategic Focus Areas

Your work will likely align with one of Intuit’s "Big Bets" in AI:

• Hyper-Personalization: Building recommendation engines that analyze financial history to offer tailored advice (e.g., specific tax deductions or cash flow forecasts).

• AI-Driven Expert Platform: Automating complex financial workflows to connect customers with human experts only when necessary.

• Financial Fraud Detection: Developing deep learning models to detect anomalies in transaction data in real-time.

3. Tech Stack

Intuit uses a modern, cloud-native stack. You should be proficient in:

Responsibilities

• Architecting ML Platforms: Design scalable, fault-tolerant systems that can handle massive throughput for real-time predictions (e.g., fraud detection during tax filing).

• GenAI Integration (GenOS): Leverage Intuit’s proprietary GenOS (Generative AI Operating System) to integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) into products, powering features like "Intuit Assist."

• Model Productionalization: Take experimental models from Data Scientists (often written in notebooks) and refactor/optimize them for production (latency, reliability, scalability).

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Serve as the technical lead for major initiatives, coordinating between Data Scientists, Product Managers, and Backend Engineers.

• Technical Standards: Define best practices for code quality, testing, and ML Ops (CI/CD for ML) across the organization.
