About the Role:

As a Sr. Staff Software Engineer on the Entity Management team, you will spearhead the development of a new product that will remove the burden of compliance for our entrepreneurs, helping them focus on growing their business without worrying about paperwork. You will be responsible for defining the technical roadmap, collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders, managing daily team operations, and mentoring and guiding engineers. If you are passionate about driving innovation and making a significant impact, we would love to have you join our team.

About the Team:

The Entity Management team is responsible for building and maintaining tools that help small businesses manage the entire lifecycle of their legal and compliance needs, including incorporation. This means supporting business owners from the very first step of getting their company incorporated, all the way through ongoing compliance, account monitoring, and even dissolution if needed. The team’s mission is to simplify and automate these often complex, time-consuming processes, so business owners can focus on growing their business without worrying about government regulations.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Define and execute the technical roadmap for the new product, ensuring alignment with overall business goals.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product Management, Design, Customer Support, and Marketing, to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Mentor and guide engineers on the team, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
• Develop the team’s software development process and technical approaches to ensure efficient and effective project execution.
• Drive the implementation of new functionality in legacy systems to enhance support for the new customer base.
• Act as the technical leader for the team, pioneering solutions and overcoming challenges to innovate and drive the project forward.
• Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to maintain code quality standards.

Here’s what we're looking for:

• 12+ years of professional software development experience.
• Proven experience in leading the development of greenfield products and/or features. Ruby on Rails, Typescript, and React experience is preferred but not required.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, including Product Management, Design, and Marketing.
• Strong mentorship skills with a track record of fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement within a team.
• Experience acting as a technical leader, solving complex problems, and driving innovation.
• Ability to develop and enhance the team’s software development processes and technical approaches.
• Excellent communication skills, capable of explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (preferred but not mandatory).

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $191,000/yr to $237,000/yr in Denver & most remote locations, and $225,000/yr to $279,000/yr for San Francisco & New York. Stock equity is additional. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above.

Gusto has physical office spaces in Denver, San Francisco, and New York City. Employees who are based in those locations will be expected to work from the office on designated days approximately 2-3 days per week (or more depending on role). The same office expectations apply to all Symmetry roles, Gusto's subsidiary, whose physical office is in Scottsdale.

Note: The San Francisco office expectations encompass both the San Francisco and San Jose metro areas.

When approved to work from a location other than a Gusto office, a secure, reliable, and consistent internet connection is required.
