Staff Software Engineer, Product Engineer at Gusto

**Who this is for** This role is designed for seasoned full-stack engineers with at least 8 years of experience who thrive on building complex, customer-facing products. You should be comfortable operating as a technical leader, capable of overseeing entire project lifecycles from initial architecture to frontend implementation. Expertise in Ruby on Rails and React is highly valued, along with a track record of mentoring other engineers and solving large-scale performance challenges. **Key highlights** Gusto offers a robust compensation package with geography-based salary tiers reaching up to $247k plus equity. The team operates at a massive scale, maintaining one of the world's largest Ruby/Rails applications. While the role is remote-friendly in several hubs, it offers a collaborative culture with a focus on high-quality, test-driven code and the opportunity to integrate emerging AI frameworks into the development process. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have 8+ years of experience and enjoy owning multi-quarter, high-impact projects. * Love a "product-minded" approach where you collaborate directly with Design and PMs. * Are comfortable conducting large-scale refactors and optimizing for high-scale reliability. * Are willing to travel to Denver for onboarding and value a test-driven development environment.
