Manager 3, Software Engineering

About the role

Join the Intuit Design System (IDS) organization as a Group Manager of Software Development (M3), leading the evolution of IDS from a centrally managed design system into a scalable, self-service platform that enables product teams and AI agents to build and ship high-quality, brand-consistent, accessible UI. IDS is a high-impact platform used across Intuit, spanning component and runtime foundations, governed tokens and assets, AI-native development, and automated migration and compliance.

Responsibilities

• Build, mentor, and develop high-performing engineering teams and technical leaders across web, mobile, platform infrastructure, and AI-native tooling.
• Partner with product, design, architecture, and platform teams to define strategic roadmaps, sequence investments, and manage complex cross-organizational dependencies.
• Drive scalable component and runtime foundations with strong versioning, backward compatibility, release safety, and independently managed dependencies.
• Champion AI-native and self-service development through paved roads, machine-readable component contracts, AI skills, MCP-based tooling, agentic workflows, and generative UI.
• Scale governance through extensible tokens and themes, automated policy enforcement, migration tooling, linting, dashboards, and drift detection.
• Drive operational excellence through strong reliability, observability, incident management, and platform health, adoption, and performance metrics.
• Foster a strong engineering culture focused on technical excellence, customer empathy, accountability, and sustainable execution across concurrent workstreams.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including experience managing engineers or engineering teams.
• Proven track record building or operating shared platforms, developer infrastructure, design systems, or component libraries consumed by many teams.
• Strong technical depth in architecture, API design, platform reliability, versioning strategies, staged rollouts, and breaking-change management for widely consumed systems.
• Demonstrated experience leading complex, multi-team initiatives with significant cross-organizational dependencies while balancing near-term delivery, technical debt, and long-term maintainability.
• Experience with modern web or mobile technologies such as React, TypeScript, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, and CI/CD practices.
• Applied AI fluency, with experience using generative AI, agentic systems, AI-assisted code generation, or MCP-based tooling to improve developer workflows.
• Experience with self-service developer tooling, including code generation, automated migrations, linting, policy-as-code, design tokens, theming, or asset pipelines.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence technical and non-technical leaders and treat internal developers as customers.
