Staff Software Engineer, CKD

Responsibilities

• Lead the technical direction for AI platform integrations.
• Own the architecture for how NerdWallet's guidance is packaged, exposed, and rendered inside third-party AI assistants, from tool and protocol design to in-conversation UI.
• Build a lot of it yourself. Write production code for new integrations, prototype new platform capabilities as they launch, and unblock teams on the hardest technical problems.
• Design for reuse across platforms. Define the abstractions, contracts, and patterns that let multiple platform teams share a common foundation while still using each platform's unique features.
• Build safely for a regulated domain.
• Partner with Security, Legal, and Compliance so integrations handle authentication, consent, and sensitive consumer data correctly and follow financial compliance requirements.
• Own reliability and performance.
• Set standards for monitoring, latency, cost, and incident response on platform-facing services, and help resolve production issues when they happen.
• Partner with leadership on the roadmap. Work with Engineering Managers and Product to shape priorities, estimate effort and risk honestly, and recommend where to place technical bets.
