We're looking for seasoned full-stack software engineers to join the teams behind Gusto's customer-facing products — the features and experiences that small business owners and their employees rely on every day.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll operate across the full product lifecycle: shaping features from early spec and design through to launch and long-term iteration. That means writing clean frontend code, designing and building reliable backend APIs, influencing product direction, and taking ownership of what happens after a feature ships.

If you're drawn to work that combines technical craft with real-world impact — helping power the livelihoods of millions using Gusto products — join us!

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

Design, build, and test Gusto core products such as Payroll, Benefits, HR, Retirement, Gusto Money, Gusto Solo, and Gusto Pro, among others

Mentor other engineers to help solve some of the hardest technical problems out there in very complex domains and at a large scale

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

Collaborate with our Product Management, Data, Design, and Platform Engineering teams to understand customer pain points, come up with solutions, and then prototype, iterate, and launch daily

Build products that our customers genuinely love

Here’s what we're looking for:

Successful applicants typically have 10+ years of software development experience

Experience building scalable solutions that eliminate customer pain; passion for creating memorable experiences for customers
