The opportunity
At Gusto, we're on a mission to grow the small business economy. We handle the hard stuff — payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR — so owners can focus on their craft and their customers.
What you'll do
Develop the engineering team across the Money Movement domain to help build: the long term vision of the payments team at Gusto. The leader will expand Gusto’s payment rails across the US and internationally while ensuring that our 500K+ businesses and millions of their employees are getting paid on time, every time.
Lead, empower and coach a team across engineering for payments to i) drive: technical guidance and consistent execution of the next generation of payment rails and money movement capabilities that enable Gusto to expand its product offerings; ii) recruit, hire, and onboard new engineering team members; iii) identify and address any roadblocks or challenges faced by the team; and iv) deliver scaled engineering solutions on time.
Own reliable, efficient, compliant and cost effective end-to-end money: movement across every rail — including on-call ownership, SLOs, and error budgets for tier-1 payment systems — and work cross-functionally with Payment Operations, Accounting and Treasury to de-risk any payments related issues with bank and provider partners.
Drive the modularization of payments: lead the extraction of money movement into a standalone service with clean API contracts, so new rails can be added once at the platform layer instead of being re-integrated by every product team.
Foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and excellence within the: team. In addition, collaborate and communicate with senior management and stakeholders to develop and execute long-term strategies for Gusto’s engineering department
Develop and maintain strong relationships with cross-functional teams,: including product, design, data science, and the upstream product teams that depend on payments, to make tradeoffs that build customer trust

- Comfortable guiding the team strategically as well as contributing hands on: where it’s needed to support the team. Expect to be reviewing code, and coding where it’s needed to move the team along.
