On top of full-service payroll, Gusto offers health insurance, 401(k)s, expert HR, and team management tools. Today, Gusto offices in Denver, San Francisco, and New York serve more than 300,000 businesses nationwide.

  • Lead other engineers to innovate on some of the hardest technical problems out there in very complex domains and at a large scale

  • Passion for creating memorable experiences for customers
  • Expertise in complex product development problems -- we use Rails & React
  • Appreciation for a collaborative, test-driven environment
  • Experience in one of these would be nice, but not required:
    • HR, Payroll, Payments, Fintech, or Tax products
    • AI/Machine Learning

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $193,000/yr to $231,000/yr in Denver & most remote locations, and $228,000/yr to $272,000/yr for San Francisco & New York.
