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.

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. About the Role: You'll be part of the team building the next generation of the business insurance purchase experience at Gusto. This role is built for someone who wants to be part of a fast-growing team and build products that customers like to use. You'll take projects from design through implementation to launch, working closely with a good size team to ship AI-powered features that simplify and modernize how businesses discover, evaluate, and purchase insurance. If you're excited about joining a team early in its growth, executing reliably on shipping products rapidly, and learning by building alongside experienced engineers, you'll thrive here.

Here’s what we're looking for: • 8+ years of software development experience, 2+ years of doing customer facing products at scale. • AI-native mindset with AI tools naturally embedded in your daily workflow. • Impact-driven with proven end-to-end multi-quarter projects delivery experience, from initial scoping and planning through execution, stakeholder management, and successful launch. • Genuine excitement about joining a fast-growing and high velocity team. • Natural aptitude for bringing clarity and simplicity to complex, ambiguous problems. • Strong documentation and communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate technical tradeoffs and align solutions with business needs across both technical and non-technical audiences. • Strong Platform and Application Engineering experience (e.g., services, APIs, data flows, obs
