Company Overview

Intuit is the global financial technology platform that powers prosperity for the people and communities we serve. With approximately 100 million customers worldwide using products such as TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to prosper. We never stop working to find new, innovative ways to make that possible.

Job Overview

Intuit Enterprise Suite is how the world's fastest-growing mid-market and enterprise finance teams run their books, close their quarter, and put AI agents to work on real accounting operations — not demos. Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) are the team that makes that real: embedded with our customers, shipping production automation, and turning AI pilot into AI in the general ledger.

This isn't a traditional sales engineering role, and it isn't a traditional product engineering role either. FDEs report into Engineering, work shoulder-to-shoulder with Sales and Account Management on the deals and renewals that matter most, and own the last mile between what Core Engineering ships and what a specific customer actually runs. You'll sit at the intersection of engineering, applied AI, and enterprise finance, and you'll be judged on one thing: did the customer's business measurably change because you were in the room.

Where this role sits

FDEs report into Engineering, not Sales, but this is a field role spanning both sides of the signature.

Sales & Account Management: You're the technical face of Enterprise Suite — AEs pull you in pre-sale to build the proof that wins evaluations; Customer Success pulls you in post-sale for QBRs, renewals, and expansion. Deals run on proof, not promises. You won't carry a number, but expect to be in the room for the technical parts of both sale and renewal.

Core Engineering: You build on top of what Engineering ships — not a parallel path to the roadmap. Your job is the last-mile layer: wiring existing capabilities into one customer's data and workflows fast enough to prove value inside a live deal. In return, you feed Engineering structured signal on patterns across customers, sharpening the roadmap rather than duplicating or bypassing it.

Responsibilities

• Get hands-on with prospects before there's a contract — build a working proof-of-value in (or against a realistic replica of) their own data and systems, with real integrations and real output.
• Partner with Account Executives from first technical touch: run discovery with prospects' finance and IT teams, lead technical evaluations (architecture, security/compliance, integration feasibility, RFPs), and build the ROI case presented directly to CFOs and Controllers. Your proof-of-value often gets the deal signed. Flag technical or data-readiness risk early so Sales scopes deals accurately.
• Architect and deploy
