About the Team :

The HR Apps team is tight-knit and has a great culture of problem-solving, quick iteration, and building creative solutions. We prioritize building the right experience for our customers - helping them accomplish their goals when it comes to their teams, while staying compliant with relevant rules and laws. We love working cross-functionally with Product, Design, Data Science, Partnerships, and Support to make what we’re building as impactful as possible.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day :

  • Identify and solve high-impact problems involving a level of technical and / or organizational complexity that requires understanding and coordination across multiple domains.
  • Consistently show up as an organizational leader, within HR Apps and beyond.
  • Work with engineers and others across team and organizational boundaries to elevate Gusto’s engineering quality and velocity.
  • Inform and maintain best practices for reliability and observability for the team.
  • Communicate and negotiate the organizational investment for the creation or expansion of our systems and services.
  • Find, explore and coordinate engineering-wide improvements to core data models and other foundational architecture.

Here’s what we're looking for :

  • 15 years of professional software development experience.
  • Experience in scaling engineering organizations with a focus on individual and team development.
  • Experience building and maintaining resilient backend systems to support customer-facing products.
  • Experience in highly cross-functional environments for highly complex products.
  • Experience as tech lead, overseeing projects across multiple teams.
  • Ability to communicate technical complexity and help facilitate informed tradeoffs.
  • Able to build maintainable, structured, well-documented code.
  • Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $191,000 / yr to $237,000 / yr in Denver & most remote locations, and $225,000 / yr to $279,000 / 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.
