Engineering Manager, Tax Payments and Filings at Gusto

This role is designed for an experienced engineering leader with at least 8 years in software development and 2-4 years in management. The ideal candidate has a strong background in backend systems and a proven track record of managing mission-critical infrastructure where "correctness" is non-negotiable. If you enjoy solving complex logic puzzles within highly regulated environments (like fintech or tax compliance), this is a premier leadership opportunity. The compensation is highly competitive, ranging from $163k to $247k depending on your location, plus equity. While the role is remote-friendly across several major hubs, Gusto offers a hybrid approach for those near Denver, SF, or NYC. You’ll be overseeing a team that moves billions of dollars, providing a high-impact environment where engineering precision directly affects the financial health of over 400,000 small businesses. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have led engineering teams through high-stakes production incidents and complex compliance landscapes. * Possess deep technical roots in backend architecture and high-volume data processing. * Prioritize mentorship and have a "service mindset" toward empowering your direct reports. * Thrive in environments where you must translate shifting legal/regulatory requirements into scalable technical systems.
