Job Description


About Gusto

At Gusto, we're on a mission to grow the small business economy. We handle the hard stuff — payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR — so owners can focus on their craft and their customers. With teams in Denver, San Francisco, and New York, we support more than 500,000 small businesses nationwide and are building a workplace that reflects the people we serve.


All full-time employees receive competitive base pay, benefits, and equity (RSUs) — because everyone who helps build Gusto should share in its success. Offer amounts are determined by role, level, and location. Learn more about our Total Rewards philosophy.


AI is a fundamental part of how work gets done at Gusto. We expect all team members to actively engage with AI tools relevant to their role and grow their fluency as the technology evolves. AI experience requirements vary by role and will be assessed during the interview process.

We’re looking for seasoned full-stack software engineers to join Gusto’s Growth team building the systems and workflows that help turn customer and go-to-market signals into timely, relevant engagement experiences across the funnel.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll operate across the full product lifecycle: shaping capabilities from early definition and design through launch and long-term iteration. That means writing clean frontend code, designing and building reliable backend APIs and services, influencing product and platform 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 teams deliver more relevant, personalized, and effective customer experiences at scale - join us.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

  • Design, build, and test full-stack platform capabilities that power signal-driven workflows and customer engagement experiences across the funnel
  • Build systems that ingest, prioritize, and route product, marketing, and sales signals into actionable next-best steps for downstream teams and tools
  • Develop backend services and internal interfaces that support orchestration, decisioning, experimentation, and delivery across evolving engagement channels
  • Help scale one of the largest Ruby/Rails and Javascript/React applications in the world, with a strong focus on performance, maintainability, and reliability
  • Collaborate with Product Management, Data, Design, Platform Engineering, and go-to-market partners to understand pain points, prototype solutions, and launch iteratively
  • Mentor other engineers to help solve complex technical problems across distributed systems, product workflows, and platfor
