About the Role:

We're a cross-functional bunch focused on Design, Research, Writing, Ops and Front-end Development who are always looking for opportunities to build understanding and empathy for the people who use Gusto.

We are passionate advocates for thoughtful, crafted, and inclusive experiences and we believe great design can make hard things possible, even delightful. Read more about Design at Gusto.

  • Collaborate with designers on other teams to develop cohesive solutions for shared problems
  • You'll drive team-wide impact through mentorship, fostering a culture of growth and collaboration

  • A builder who loves being hands on crafting high quality, high impact solutions and getting them in front of customers
    • Experience designing and shipping products in complex domains informed by research, data, and insights from support teams demonstrated through a portfolio of work you've directly contributed to
    • Systems thinking, including using and contributing to a Design System and designing with a Platform-first approach
    • Ability to explain the impact of your work, tradeoffs you've made, lessons learned, and design rationale
    • The ability to think long term towards a broader vision or step change, while being able to speak to scoping and sequencing to deliver iterative value
    • Experience balancing long-term design goals with an Agile-based iterative approach
    • Strong communication skills and enthusiasm for collaborating across the entire company
  • Experience designing end-to-end customer journeys from software to service
  • Strong understanding of common web patterns, foundations, and the ability to discern when to innovate versus adopt existing standards
  • Strong opinions loosely held and a willingness to engage in constructive debates about scope and tradeoffs to build alignment and unblock work
  • Strong UX craft - you can break down complex experiences and design with consideration for all touchpoints
  • Ability to embrace ambiguous situations as opportunities to create
