Staff Software Engineer, Time and Scheduling

Gusto • Remote (New York, NY;Toronto, Ontario, CAN - Remote) • 1w ago

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 for the Time / Scheduling product team, 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 across the Time domain
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 8+ years of software development experience
Experience building scalable solutions that eliminate customer pain; passion for creating memorable experiences for customers
Experience leveraging AI tools or systems to accelerate development, improve testing, and deliver new product capabilities
Curiosity and experimentation with emerging AI frameworks, applying and sharing best practices to evaluate and scale AI use safely across teams
Experience owning multi-quarter projects that solve complex engineering problems and make measurable customer impact at scale
Experience with large scale refactors, performance and reliability issues, and a strong sense of ownership over all aspects of your product area
Ability to mentor engineers to maximize their performance and impact

Others:

Experience in, or interest working in, Ruby on Rails
Appreciation for a collaborative, test-driven environment
Ability to build well-structured, maintainable, well-documented code
Ability to effectively communicate across engineering teams and with business stakeholders.

Please note that travel to Gusto's office for onboarding is required for this position. If you have any questions regarding this requirement, please share with your recruiter.

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $163,000–$204,000 in Denver & most remote locations, and $197,000–$247,000 for San Francisco & 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.
