Lending AI builds the machine learning and AI systems behind Intuit's lending products - credit risk underwriting and decisioning, loan pricing and limit assignment, portfolio monitoring, and collections and loss forecasting. We use Intuit's proprietary small business and commercial financial data to underwrite customers no one else can see clearly, so that capital arrives in minutes instead of weeks.\nStaff AI Scientists solve ambiguous problems and deliver end to end with a one-team mindset, spending 70% of their time on technical contributions. You will lead end-to-end aspects of complex lending applications or genuinely ambiguous problems - rearchitecting the underwriting decisioning stack, unifying credit signals across origination, or standing up cash flow underwriting for thin file small businesses. You will serve as a technical leader who influences product and technology decisions across multiple teams, including Credit Risk, Decisioning Engineering, and Servicing, and who keeps Intuit's lending AI differentiated.\nResponsibilities\nEvaluate emerging research and introduce novel machine learning techniques to improve core lending metrics, such as net credit loss and loss forecasting accuracy.\n\nLead the creation and governance of reusable credit data and feature assets, ensuring high data quality and compliance across teams.\n\nDesign auditable and reproducible AI-first lending systems, including agentic flows for document intake, policy reasoning, and collections.\n\nDetermine when to use LLM fine-tuning versus prompting based on decision quality, latency, cost, explainability, and risk management standards.\n\nArchitect multi-stage agent pipelines and reusable science infrastructure to streamline experiment execution and results synthesis across teams.\n\nSolve complex research problems tailored to lending, such as learning from censored repayment outcomes and causal pricing optimization.\n\nEstablish rigorous research standards, author papers on team innovations, and transfer research outputs into production underwriting and pricing systems.\n\nOrchestrate multi-team initiatives by managing dependencies across data, risk, and compliance, while steering technical plans through shifting market or regulatory conditions.\n\nPartner with Product, Credit Risk, Analytics, Legal, and Model Governance to ensure holistic AI integration across lending operations.\n\nAnalyze customer journey data to identify unmet needs, such as expanding credit access for qualified thin-file small businesses.\n\nDefine key success metrics and balance strategic trade-offs between approval rates, expected losses, unit economics, and overall portfolio health.\n\nCo-design end-to-end customer workflows with Product and Design, using experiment insights to shape the product roadmap.\n\nMentor senior scientists, offer actionable technical feedback, and guide them in structuring work into reliable agent-executable components.\n\nAddress foundational gaps in tech debt and tooling, build generalizable solutions, and lead hiring and mentoring plans to scale team impact.\n\nQualifications\nBS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, or a quantitative field (or equivalent experience).\n\n8+ years of experience building, deploying, and leading cross-functional production ML systems.\n\nProven track record of taking complex, high-stakes ML problems from concept to production with measurable business impact.\n\nExperience designing scalable data and feature platforms with versioning, quality contracts, lineage, and reproducibility.\n\nStrong communication skills to align cross-functional stakeholders (Product, Engineering, Risk) and communicate model designs to regulatory standards.\n\nExperience mentoring senior scientists and engineers.\n\nGood to have: Deep domain expertise in credit risk, underwriting policy, limit assignment, risk-based pricing, or loss forecasting.\n\nGood to have: Hands-on experience with LLMs and agentic systems, including orchestration, fine-tuning, RAG, and evaluation.\n\nIntuit provides a competitive compensation package with a strong pay for performance rewards approach. This position may be eligible for a cash bonus, equity rewards and benefits, in accordance with our applicable plans and programs (see more about our compensation and benefits at Intuit®: Careers | Benefits). Pay offered is based on factors such as job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and work location.
