Senior Software Engineer, Data Platform at Gusto

This role is designed for a seasoned engineer with at least 7 years of experience who sits at the intersection of software development and data architecture. You are an ideal candidate if you have a track record of building "modern data stacks" and enjoy creating the underlying infrastructure that enables data scientists and analysts to work efficiently. The position offers a strong compensation package, with salaries reaching up to $247,000 depending on location. While the role is listed as on-site, it actually follows a hybrid model requiring 2–3 days in the office per week in major tech hubs like Denver, SF, NYC, or Seattle. This is a high-ownership role where you will manage the entire lifecycle of data solutions, from gathering requirements to production monitoring. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have deep expertise in **Python** and **AWS** data services (Redshift, MSK, EMR). * Are experienced with **OLAP databases** like Clickhouse and orchestration tools like Airflow. * Enjoy building both batch and real-time streaming pipelines (Kafka/Kinesis). * Can turn vague, high-level business needs into scalable technical architecture with minimal hand-holding.
