About the Role

We're hiring experienced engineers to join our Payroll Services teams. As a Technical Lead, you'll guide projects end-to-end, influencing initial feature specs, understanding how to take existing systems closer to desired end states, executing on projects, and maintaining code that powers core experiences.

You'll work closely with cross-functional teams, including Engineering, Product Management, Design, Data Science, Compliance, Operations, and more. Your expertise will help us build elegant software with far-reaching effects in our modern economy.

About the Team

Payroll is the beating heart of Gusto's business. Our Payroll Services teams are responsible for the product, ops, and service components we use to onboard customers, process payrolls, calculate taxes & deductions, pay and file with tax agencies, and maintain compliance on behalf of our customers.

The domain is highly complex, offering opportunities to engage in system design that simplifies this for customers, both internal and external.

Sub-Teams

We have several sub-teams within Payroll Services:

Tax Accuracy

The Tax Accuracy group is responsible for gathering and maintaining the necessary information for us to pay and file taxes accurately and on time for our customers.

Ledger

This team is building a payroll ledger to track accrual accounting for payroll-related money movement.

Engine

This team works closely with the payroll compliance team to ensure enablement of compliant pay, such as minimum wage adjustments, regular rate of pay, etc.

Platform

This team is developing a new platform to be the common interface for interacting with payroll and tax data.

Here's what you'll do day-to-day:

Function as a Technical Lead across multiple teams in Payroll Services, helping us keep engineers unblocked and deliver high-quality work supporting our long-term goals.

Design, build, and test the foundation that supports compliant payroll for millions of people.

Help scale one of the largest Ruby/Rails and TypeScript/React applications in the world.

Collaborate on complex and ambiguous problems with partnerships from Engineering, Product Management, Design, Data Science, Compliance, Operations, and other cross-functional teams.

Mentor and grow fellow engineers working to create holistic and scalable solutions.

Drive the product development process from concept to launch, delivering delightful products that make payroll, taxes, and compliance simple and easy.

Improve the productivity and happiness of our teams with the services, tools, and APIs you build.

Engage in a highly supportive environment working with others to drive productivity and innovation.

Continuously stay up-to-date with advancements in AI and Machine Learning, applying this knowledge to our projects.

Here's what we're looking for:

Successful applicants typically have at least 15+ years of experience.

Able to build maintainable, structured, well-documented code.

Strong knowledge of data structures, data modeling, and system design.

Experience working across 3+ teams, influencing both product and team direction.

Experience working on platform products which are depended upon throughout the company.

Experience engineering, designing, building and supporting large scale systems in production.

An aptitude in bringing clarity and simplicity to complex problems, communicating technical complexity and facilitating informed tradeoffs to major stakeholders.

Experience operationalizing and scaling large interconnected production systems.

Enthusiasm for a collaborative, test-driven environment.

Experience in complex highly regulated domains.

Examples:

HR, Payroll, Taxes, or Compliance.

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $222,000/yr to $247,000/yr in Denver & most remote locations, and $261,000/yr to $290,000/yr for San Francisco, Seattle & New York.

Stock equity is additional.

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above.

Gusto has physical office spaces in Denver, San Francisco, and New York City. Employees who are based in those locations will be expected to work from the office on designated days approximately 2-3 days per week (or more depending on role). The same office expectations apply to all Symmetry roles, Gusto's subsidiary, whose physical office is in Scottsdale.

Note:

The San Francisco office expectations encompass both the San Francisco and San Jose metro areas.

When approved to work from a location other than a Gusto office, a secure, reliable, and consistent internet connection is required.

Our customers come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger.

If you share our values and our enthusiasm for small businesses, you will find a home at Gusto.
