Overview
On the Fintech Invoicing & Payments team, we build the AI-native sales transaction experience for QuickBooks Online — the Platform where small businesses get paid. As a Senior Staff Software Engineer on the team, you will drive significant, end-to-end technology initiatives across both horizontal layers — from the React form a merchant sees to the MCP tool an agent calls to the GraphQL/STS write that lands in QuickBooks — executing with a boundaryless mindset and contributing well outside any single repo's ownership. The hard, domain-specific work here is making an LLM reliably and safely operate a real accounting system: writing tool descriptions and structured-content contracts precise enough that the model stops asking redundant clarifying questions yet never corrupts a ledger.
You'll partner across a highly matrixed set of stakeholders (Omni, the QBO monolith, payments, design, and external MCP-host partners) to translate customer behavior into durable, scalable, secure designs that balance short-term delivery against long-term architecture. Critically, you'll guide where AI genuinely helps and where it doesn't: you bring a deep, hands-on understanding of LLMs and prompt/tool-description engineering, agent orchestration (LangChain/LangGraph-style frameworks), and the evaluation tooling needed to validate accuracy and prevent regressions before they reach a customer's books.
Responsibilities
- Drives velocity in the organization by accelerating customer, business, and technology outcomes by identifying and driving key opportunities across the company.
- Drives significant technology initiatives end-to-end, including horizontal layers of the architecture.

- Drives design and implementation of durable software solutions that will solve critical customer problems in a fast-paced environment.
- Executes with a boundaryless mindset and contributes to solutions outside of their primary area of ownership.
- Knowledge of building AI native applications.
- Prior working experience in teams that have built AI native applications for 1+ years.
- Guides the applicability of AI to customer problems through a deep understanding of the value and limitations of AI technologies.
- Understands evaluation tools to validate and measure the accuracy of solutions.
- High-level understanding of how AI models work, the different types of AI models that exist, and their pros and cons.
- Understanding of the latest tools and technologies that apply AI to real-world applications.
- Creates robust, scalable, and secure technical designs, effectively implementing them to balance short-term and long-term objectives, ensuring high availability and optimal performance of applications.
- Passionate for continuous learning, experimenting, and applying cutting-edge technology and software paradigms to solve customer problems.
Qualifications

- Back-end technologies like Java, Typescript, Spring, Express (NodeJS).
- Prior working experience in a cloud computing environment like AWS/GCP is highly desired.
- Prior experience working in teams that have built AI native applications for 1+ years BS/MS in Computer Science or related area.
