Ppf In Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Intuit's Payments Platform (PPF - Payments Processing Framework) is the core infrastructure powering money movement across QuickBooks, Bill Pay, GoPayment, and Merchant Payments - processing billions of dollars in transactions annually. As Group Engineering Manager for Payments Platform, you will lead a team of 40-60 engineers and 3-5 engineering managers, owning the reliability, evolution, and delivery of Intuit's most critical payment processing systems.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will set technical direction, drive quarterly roadmap execution, and partner closely with Product, Finance, Risk, and Compliance stakeholders to deliver measurable business outcomes - including total processing volume (TPV), cost of payments, and platform availability.

Responsibilities

Platform Delivery & Execution

• Own end-to-end delivery of the Payments Platform roadmap across Bill Pay, Merchant Payments, Gateway, and PPF core infrastructure.

• Drive quarterly sprint execution across multiple sub-teams, maintaining high engineering velocity while managing reliability and compliance requirements.

• Lead major platform migrations and modernization programs (e.g., payment authorization service migrations, event bus modernization, API-first platform evolution).

• Establish clear engineering operating rhythms: sprint reviews, incident retrospectives, KPI tracking, and cross-team dependency management.

Technical Leadership

• Set architectural direction for the payments processing framework — distributed systems, real-time transaction processing, idempotency, and settlement infrastructure.

• Guide adoption of modern engineering practices: progressive rollouts, chaos engineering (Gameday), multi-region active/passive failover, and observability (Splunk, golden signals, PagerDuty).

• Evaluate and drive AI-first capabilities within the payments platform, including intelligent routing, anomaly detection, and agentic automation of operational workflows.

• Ensure platform meets PCI-DSS, SOX, and Intuit's security and compliance standards without sacrificing delivery velocity.

Team Leadership & Development

• Lead, coach, and develop 3–5 engineering managers and their teams; build a strong leadership bench with clear succession paths.

• Foster a culture of ownership, engineering excellence, and customer-first thinking — where teams understand the business impact of their systems.

• Partner with recruiting to attract and retain senior engineering talent.

• Drive performance management, calibration, and career growth conversations across the org.

Cross-functional Partnership

• Partner with Product Management to co-own initiative prioritization and roadmap trade-offs.

• Work closely with Risk, Compliance, and Finance teams to ensure platform decisions account for regulatory requirements and cost of processing.

• Represent the Payments Platform org in leadership reviews, architecture forums, and incident post-mortems.

• Collaborate with peer engineering teams (Wallet, Gateway, Risk, Reconciliation) to align on shared infrastructure and resolve cross-team dependencies.

Operational Excellence

• Own platform SLAs for availability, latency, and error rates across production payment flows.

• Drive reduction in MTTD and MTTR through improved alerting, runbooks, and on-call practices.

• Lead quarterly KPI reviews tied to TPV, cost per transaction, processing success rate, and platform reliability.

Qualifications

Required

• 12+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years leading engineering managers in a multi-team organization.

• Proven track record delivering large-scale payments, fintech, or financial infrastructure platforms in production.

• Strong technical depth in distributed systems, real-time transaction processing, cloud-native architectures (AWS), and high-availability design patterns.

• Experience owning engineering delivery against business KPIs - not just technical metrics.

• Demonstrated ability to partner effectively with Product, Finance, Risk, and Compliance stakeholders.

• Track record of building and developing high-performing engineering teams at senior/staff levels.

Preferred

• Experience with payment processing systems, card networks, ACH/FedNow/RTP, or settlement infrastructure.

• Familiarity with PCI-DSS, SOX controls, and operating in regulated financial environments.

• Hands-on experience with observability tools (Splunk, Datadog, PagerDuty) and progressive deployment practices.

• Background in AI-assisted engineering workflows or intelligent payments capabilities.

• Prior experience at a fintech, payments processor, or financial services company.
