Staff Software Engineer, Marketing Technology at Gusto

This role is designed for a seasoned engineering leader (8+ years) who specializes in modern frontend ecosystems and "MarTech" infrastructure. While the job listing says "Mid-level," the responsibilities and requirements are clearly for a high-level individual contributor. You should have deep expertise in building high-performance web platforms using React, Next.js, and Headless CMS architectures, with a strong interest in evolving traditional marketing tools into AI-driven personalization engines. The compensation is highly competitive, peaking at $275,000 plus equity. A major highlight is the opportunity to lead Gusto’s technical transition into an "AI-native" company. Although the role lists several hub cities, it offers flexibility for the right candidates in those regions, provided you can commute 2–3 days a week if located near an office. You'll be working at the intersection of product engineering and data science, making it a unique spot for architectural influence. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have extensive experience with Headless CMS, CDPs (like Segment), and multi-channel orchestration tools (like Braze). * Are proficient in React, TypeScript, and Next.js, with a focus on web performance and edge caching/CDNs. * Are excited about implementing generative AI or predictive models to create adaptive, real-time user journeys. * Enjoy mentoring other engineers and bridging the gap between marketing goals and technical architecture.
