Staff Software Engineer, Full Stack — QuickBooks Capital & Lending

About the role

QuickBooks is the platform that powers millions of small businesses and accountants around the world. Within it, the QuickBooks Capital & Lending team builds the software that helps small businesses access the capital they need to grow — bringing together real-time financial data, risk and decisioning models, and delightful product experiences at scale. You'll join a team of engineers building cloud-native, AI-powered software on a modern stack: Java/Kotlin and Spring Boot on the back end; React and TypeScript on the front end; Kafka, Elasticsearch, and SQL/NoSQL data stores; all running on Kubernetes and AWS. We ship continuously, instrument everything, and lean into AI both in the products we build and in how we build them.

Responsibilities

• Drive significant technical initiatives end-to-end and across every layer of the stack — from API and data design to front-end experience.
• Architect and build scalable, secure, cloud-native applications and services that interoperate cleanly with the systems around them.
• Stay hands-on — roughly 70% of your time is spent coding — while setting the technical direction for your team.
• Act as the technical subject-matter expert: lead the design of complex features, mentor engineers, and lead a small team through hard programming and design problems.
• Lead requirements gathering, technical design, and project and test planning.
• Identify high-impact opportunities to apply AI — both to enhance our products and to accelerate our own engineering — and coach the team on using AI tools and techniques effectively and responsibly.
• Take AI-powered features to production and evaluate their impact on performance and customer outcomes with the right metrics.
• Champion engineering quality: automated testing, CI/CD, observability, performance, security, accessibility, and internationalization.
• Communicate clearly through crisp technical docs and design reviews, and partner across product, design, QE, and other engineering teams to deliver results.
• Own quality through the full lifecycle, resolving issues across QA, pre-production, production, and post-release.

Requirements

Minimum qualifications

• 8+ years designing and developing online SaaS applications with full-stack expertise across front end and back end.
• BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong back-end expertise in Java and/or Kotlin with Spring Boot (or comparable modern frameworks).
• Strong front-end expertise with JavaScript, TypeScript, and React (or a comparable modern framework).
• 5+ years building and consuming web APIs (REST, and ideally gRPC and/or GraphQL) and designing service interfaces.
• Deep command of the full software development lifecycle and the software design and architecture process.
• Experience with automated testing and Test-Driven Development (TDD), and with CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong technical leadership: setting direction, running design reviews, presenting, and serving as the cross-functional go-to person.
• Excellent communication skills — able to explain complex technical topics to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams.

Preferred / Nice To Have

• Cloud-native development on AWS with microservices, containers, and Kubernetes.
• Experience with event streaming (Kafka), search (Elasticsearch), and SQL/NoSQL database design.
• Hands-on experience building or integrating AI/GenAI capabilities (e.g., LLM prompting, retrieval, model integration) and monitoring them in production.
• Experience with observability and instrumentation (metrics, logging, tracing) for production services.
• Business acumen — strategic thinking and the ability to connect engineering decisions to customer and business outcomes.
• A track record of building strong teams: setting and evangelizing a vision, facilitative leadership, and attracting and growing talent.
