About the Team:

The Growth org is a product team that focuses on driving revenue growth. We’re accelerating Gusto’s revenue growth by providing a platform for customer acquisition efforts that drive visitors and leads, as well as building out ML-powered recommendation engine for our ACV expansion initiatives. We’re also in an exciting phase of redesigning and expanding our onboarding and activation platform, which will be key in unlocking Gusto’s next phase of growth. We’re looking for a strategic and motivated engineering leader to empower and scale the engineering teams that are building Gusto’s next big thing!

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

Define, iterate and execute on initiatives contributing to the Growth’s technical roadmap to drive revenue growth.
Partner with cross-functional teams to tackle complex and ambiguous problems, translating them into engineering solutions that drive our customer acquisition and ACV expansion platform forward.
Execute in different horizons based on Growth’s overall goals. This means at times, embedding in a team for multiple months/quarters to deliver complex projects, and at other times, kicking off ambiguous initiatives and helping teams driving alignment and building momentum.
Execute in different capacities based on the need of the org and initiative. Dive deep into the hardest technical areas while delegating the rest to partnering teams.
Engage with all development teams across Gusto to align and drive towards long-term maintainability and stability of our systems.
Mentor and provide guidance to software engineers, fostering growth and development.
Actively participate in code reviews and maintain code quality.

Here’s what we're looking for:

15+ years of professional software development experience
Hands-on experience building large scale, complex systems in a wide range of domains
Web architecture expertise, including observability and performance
Experience in highly cross-functional environments for highly complex products
Experience as tech lead, overseeing large initiatives across multiple teams
Experience in scaling Engineering organizations
Nice to have:
- Experience building complex revenue systems that spans multiple growth areas: acquisition, expansion, experimentation, marketing and sales automation tools/integrations
- Experience in experimentation and user experience optimization
- Experience working closely with Revenue teams
- Experience building product incorporating ML and AI

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $215,000/yr to $252,000/yr in Denver & most remote locations, and $251,000/yr to $295,000/yr for San Francisco, Seattle & New York.
