About the Role:

We're looking for seasoned full-stack software engineers to join the teams behind Gusto's customer-facing products — the features and experiences that small business owners and their employees rely on every day.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll operate across the full product lifecycle: shaping features from early spec and design through to launch and long-term iteration. That means writing clean frontend code, designing and building reliable backend APIs, influencing product direction, and taking ownership of what happens after a feature ships. 

If you're drawn to work that combines technical craft with real-world impact — helping power the livelihoods of millions using Gusto products — join us!

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Design, build, and test Gusto core products such as Payroll, Benefits, HR, Retirement, Gusto Money, Gusto Solo, and Gusto Pro, among others
• Mentor other engineers to help solve some of the hardest technical problems out there in very complex domains and at a large scale
• Help scale one of the largest Ruby/Rails and Javascript/React applications in the world
• Collaborate with our Product Management, Data, Design, and Platform Engineering teams to understand customer pain points, come up with solutions, and then prototype, iterate, and launch daily
• Build products that our customers genuinely love

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Successful applicants typically have 8+ years of software development experience
• Experience building scalable solutions that eliminate customer pain; passion for creating memorable experiences for customers
• Experience leveraging AI tools or systems to accelerate development, improve testing, and deliver new product capabilities
• Curiosity and experimentation with emerging AI frameworks, applying and sharing best practices to evaluate and scale AI use safely across teams
• Experience owning multi-quarter projects that solve complex engineering problems and make measurable customer impact at scale
• Experience with large scale refactors, performance and reliability issues, and a strong sense of ownership over all aspects of your product area
• Ability to mentor engineers to maximize their performance and impact

Others:

• Experience in, or interest working in, Ruby on Rails 
• Appreciation for a collaborative, test-driven environment
• Ability to build well-structured, maintainable, well-documented code
• Ability to effectively communicate across engineering teams and with business stakeholders

Please note that a two day travel to a Gusto office for onboarding is required for this position. If you have any questions regarding this requirement, please share with your recruiter.

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $163,000–$204,000 in Denver & most remote locations, and $197,000–$247,000 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.

About The Role: 

• We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer who wants real ownership in a fast-moving environment. 
• You'll help design, build, deploy, and operate the software that runs Urban Sky's manufacturing operation—a full-stack MRP system that tracks inventory, work orders, bills of materials, quality holds, and serialized parts from receiving through final integration. It's the operational backbone of how we actually build balloons. Because the company is growing quickly, the scope of the role will evolve over time, and you'll have meaningful influence over what we build next and how we build it. 
• You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the people using the software every day—manufacturing technicians, logistics coordinators, quality inspectors, and finance. There's no product manager between you and them. You'll learn how parts flow through the building, what makes a quarantine workflow painful at 3pm on a Friday, and how a missed traceability record turns into a compliance problem. Translating messy physical processes into clean software is most of the job. 
• The interfaces you build are for operators, not consumers. A shop-floor tech holding a tablet, scanning a barcode, working through a multi-step assembly procedure—that's your user. Touch targets, scanner integration, and drag-and-drop work instructions matter more than landing-page polish. 
• We operate in an aerospace-regulated environment (AS9100). Every mutation needs an audit trail. Serialized parts need end-to-end traceability. "Move fast and break things" doesn't apply to production data. We still move fast—but with the discipline that comes from knowing a corrupted record can ground a flight. 
• You don't need prior MRP or manufacturing experience. You do need to be excited—or at least not intimidated—by learning a complex business domain alongside the code. 
• If you enjoy small teams and solving ambiguous problems, this role is likely a great fit. 

What You'll Do 

• Our overall software team is roughly 7 people, and this team will be just 2 people, everyone works across the stack. That's not aspirational—it's required. A small team with real ownership only works if everyone can contribute quickly and adapt as the company and product evolve. 
• Senior engineers here build trust by shipping early and expanding their scope through demonstrated ownership. 

What we need you to do right away

• We expect senior engineers to become productive almost immediately. 
• In your first days and weeks, you will: 
  • Set up your environment and start committing code within your first day or two 
  • Learn existing systems by improving them, not by watching from the sidelines 
  • Fix bugs, tighten rough edges, and ship small enhancements to production 
  • Participate in deployments, debugging, and operational workflows 
  • Use AI tools from the start to understand the codebase and accelerate contributions 
  • Ask questions, propose improvements, and engage in technical decisions 
• You won't be waiting for a long ramp period. 
• You'll build context by doing real work that ships. 

What you will grow quickly into

• As you gain context, scope expands fast. 
• Within your first couple of months, you'll be expected to: 
  • Own meaningful areas of our stack across backend, frontend, and infrastructure 
  • Lead design and implementation of projects that may span quarters 
  • Make architectural decisions with an eye toward reliability, operability, and future change 
  • Work directly with operators and stakeholders—often non-engineers—to refine solutions 
  • Drive systems from concept → implementation → production → iteration → support 
  • Continuously simplify, improve, and evolve what you own 
  • Help the team move faster by raising technical quality and reducing friction 
• By this point, you're not just contributing—you're a primary owner. 
• There are no lanes to stay in and no handoffs to hide behind. 
• If something feels confusing to an operator, that's an engineering problem. 
• If a system is brittle, slow, or overbuilt, that's an engineering problem. 
• If a workflow on the shop floor doesn't match the software, that's an engineering problem. 
• If requirements change mid-stream, that's reality—and adapting thoughtfully is part of the job. 
• If AI-generated code is messy, that's also an engineering problem. 
• You'll own systems end-to-end, from design through production and long-term maintenance—even as those systems evolve. 

Our engineering principles 

• These principles guide how we build systems in a fast-moving, real-world environment. 
• Design for operations, not just implementation 
• Software doesn't stop at merge. We design systems that can be deployed, monitored, debugged, and safely operated under changing constraints. 
• Favor simple, adaptable systems 
• Clarity beats cleverness—especially when systems need to change quickly. 
• Own the full lifecycle 
• Engineers are responsible for their systems from design through production, operational support, and ongoing evolution. 
• Build reliability through feedback 
• Observability is a first-class concern. Logs, metrics, and traces help us understand how systems behave as usage and requirements change. 
• Use abstraction sparingly and intentionally 
• Abstractions should make change easier, not harder. If they obscure failures or slow iteration, they're the wrong choice. 
• Scale and evolve based on evidence 
• We increase complexity, performance, and scale in response to real operational needs—not speculative futures. 
• Leverage AI with engineering judgment 
• We use AI aggressively to increase velocity and explore solutions, while remaining fully accountable for correctness and maintainability. 
• Embrace iteration as the default 
• Progress comes from frequent adjustments and steady improvement, not rigid plans. 

AI-assisted development 

• AI isn't supplemental here. It's a core part of our SDLC. 
• We use Claude Code for feature implementation, run automated multi-agent code review on pull requests, and have AI-driven quality checks integrated into CI. A meaningful portion of production code is AI-written and human-shaped. The skill we care about isn't typing speed or autocomplete—it's the judgment to review, restructure, reject, or rewrite AI output until it's correct, readable, and operable. 
• We expect you to: 
  • Use AI tools daily for implementation, debugging, refactoring, and exploration 
  • Adapt quickly as tools, models, and workflows evolve 
  • Apply strong judgment to AI-generated code—you're accountable for what ships, not the model 
  • Use AI to build production systems, not just prototypes 
  • Treat AI as leverage, not a replacement for understanding 
• We care far more about how you use AI than which model you prefer. 

What we are looking for

• This is a senior role. We're optimizing for experience, judgment, and adaptability. 
• You likely have: 
  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience 
  • Strong fundamentals in system design, data structures, and architecture 
  • Experience building and operating backend systems at scale 
  • Solid instincts for data modeling, schema design, and SQL 
  • Comfort with cloud infrastructure and modern DevOps practices 
  • Experience owning production systems in environments that evolve quickly 
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate as priorities shift 
• You probably enjoy: 
  • TypeScript and modern web development 
  • Designing clean APIs and well-structured monoliths 
  • Thinking carefully about data models, schemas, and migrations 
  • Infrastructure, reliability, and operational excellence 
  • Mentoring others and raising the bar for the team 
• Learning quickly and adjusting course as new information emerges

Technologies (not a checklist) 

• We currently work with technologies such as: 
  • TypeScript / JavaScript 
  • React, Vite, Mantine UI 
  • tRPC for API contracts 
  • PostgreSQL (raw SQL and migrations, not just an ORM) 
  • ClickHouse for analytics 
  • Playwright for end-to-end testing 
  • AWS, Terraform, Docker 
  • CI/CD pipelines 
• You don't need experience with every tool—but you should be comfortable learning new systems as the stack evolves. 

 Benefits 

• Salary $150,000 - $180,000 per year  
• Stock Options 
• Medical, Vision and Dental 
• Unlimited Vacation Days 
• Cell Phone Bill Stipend

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including candidate experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.

About the Role:

We're hiring a Principal Engineer to serve as a Technical Lead across multiple teams in the Money Group – Gusto's fastest-growing organization and a cornerstone of the company's transformation into the Small Business Finance Platform. 

You'll define the long-term technical vision for systems that power cash flow management, lending, expense controls, invoicing, payments, and tax optimization (something about consumer financial health?)– ensuring the architecture scales as we grow. This role spans strategy and execution: setting architectural direction across 5+ teams, vetting external partners, prototyping new product lines to unblock product decisions, extracting services from our monolith, and mentoring the engineers around you. You'll be the person who fills whatever role the group needs to hit its goals – from hands-on coding to strategic planning to unblocking other teams.

If you're excited about building financial infrastructure with real impact on the people and businesses that power the modern economy, we'd love for you to join us.

About the Team:

Money is Gusto's fastest-growing group, building financial products for both sides of the employment relationship. For small businesses, we're extending the category of employer-facing financial services – bill pay, invoicing, working capital, expense cards, and cash flow insights that help SMBs get paid faster and pay others with confidence. For employees, we build tools that reduce financial stress: on-demand pay, high-yield cash accounts, automated savings, and credit-building features. This is a deeply technical domain spanning payments infrastructure, lending, multi-party integrations, and mobile-first experiences – with the complexity and scale to match.

Together, these teams are building toward a unified financial operating system for small businesses – accounting, banking, payments, lending, and tax – all connected to Gusto's payroll and people platform.

Our unique advantage is Gusto's authority over payroll data, which we leverage to build a payroll-confidence engine no standalone fintech can replicate.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Serve as a Technical Lead across multiple teams in the Money Group – setting architectural direction, unblocking engineers, and ensuring high-quality delivery aligned with long-term goals.
• Define the north-star architectural vision for the Money Group and continuously identify shorter-term projects that move us toward it.
• Architect the convergence of Gusto's People Stack (payroll, HR, benefits) and Finance Stack (banking, accounting, payments, lending) into a unified platform for small businesses.
• Lead service migration from a large Ruby-on-Rails monolith into a service-oriented architecture, defining clean domain boundaries across money movement, lending, and tax.
• Lead technical due diligence – evaluating codebases, data models, and engineering teams for compatibility with Gusto's platform.
• Manage a complex partner ecosystem.
• Build prototypes and proofs-of-concept to de-risk new ideas and unblock product decisions quickly.
• Tackle complex, ambiguous problems in close partnership with Product Management, Design, Data Science, Compliance, and Operations.
• Drive AI-native architecture decisions – from LLM-powered transaction categorization and tax optimization to conversational financial management experiences.
• Act as a technical consultant across all Money sub-teams – Consumer, Business, Tax Credits, Payments – ensuring architectural coherence across the group.
• Set the bar for technical excellence – through code, design reviews, and the standards you hold the group to.
• Mentor fellow engineers, contribute to the growth of senior and staff engineers, and help build healthy, high-performing teams.

Here’s what we're looking for:

• 15+ years of software engineering experience (successful applicants typically meet or exceed this).
• Deep expertise in distributed systems, particularly in payments or fintech – including data modeling for financial systems, consistency guarantees for money movement, and compliance-aware architecture.
• Proven track record of engineering, scaling, and operating large, interconnected production systems.
• Experience setting long-term technical vision and driving multi-year architectural transformations – not just executing migrations, but identifying the right boundaries, sequencing the work across teams, and ensuring strong technical stewards drive execution.
• Experience working across multiple teams, influencing both technical direction and product strategy. Demonstrated ability to own group-level OKRs and be accountable for the technical strategy that delivers them.
• Experience navigating decisions for core infrastructure, particularly in fintech – evaluating APIs, negotiating technical contracts, and leading integration from evaluation through production.
• Ability to bring clarity to complex problems – communicating technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders, identifying significant risks or opportunities before others, and driving decisions.
• A track record of raising the technical bar – through code quality, design rigor, testing and security best practices, and the standards you set for those around you.
• A track record of filling whatever role the group needs – from hands-on prototyping to strategic planning to firefighting – with a bias toward action.
• Experience in complex, highly regulated domains (e.g., fintech, payments, banking, lending,

Our cash compensation for this role is $214,000-$260,000yr in Denver & most major metro locations, and $250,000-$300,000yr in San Francisco & New York. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including candidate location, experience, and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.

• Active U.S. security clearance, such as Secret, Top Secret or TS/SCI clearance 

• Deep hands-on expertise in Kubernetes, container orchestration, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GovCloud variants) at production scale 

• Working knowledge of networking across complex environments: multi-cloud, on-premises, VPNs, firewalls, and network segmentation across classification boundaries 

• Direct experience building or operating DoD accredited environments (IL-4/IL-5 or higher), with familiarity with NIST 800-53, STIGs, RMF, and the ATO process 

• Experience with CI/CD platform design and infrastructure-as-code practices at scale (Terraform, Ansible, or similar) 

• Track record of building and leading engineering teams in high-growth environments where the infrastructure had to scale faster than the headcount 

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE 

• Experience in aerospace, defense, or national security technology companies where infrastructure spans classification levels 

• Background managing teams that operate across both unclassified and classified environments with mixed clearance requirements 

• Experience with service mesh (Istio, Linkerd), GitOps workflows, and developer platform tooling 

• Prior experience at a high-growth company where a single infrastructure team covered multiple disciplines before specializing into subteams 
• Familiarity with platform engineering “paved roads” operating models that balance standardization with engineering team autonomy 

COMPENSATION  

• Base Salary:   Long Beach - $165,000 to $230,000, Denver - $160,000 to $220,000

• Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave 

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education and experience. 

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS 

• Active U.S. Secret clearance required; Top Secret preferred; must be able to obtain TS/SCI 

• Work Location: this role will be fully onsite at our facilities in Centennial, CO or Long Beach, CA  

• Work environment is in a standard office, working at a desk or in a production factory. 

• Physical demands may include frequent standing, sitting, walking, bending, and lifting or carrying items up to 20lbs.

YOUR MISSION

Software is the central nervous system for True Anomaly's engineering and product thesis. Software bridges the gap between military objectives, theoretical astrodynamics and the human and autonomous control of spacecraft and ground systems in time and space. True Anomaly is seeking an exceptional Staff Full Stack Software Engineer to lead the technical direction and evolution of our spacecraft modeling, simulation, and distributed ground control platform across the entire stack.

This is a high-impact, strategic leadership role. You'll define and drive the technical roadmap spanning frontend and backend systems, lead cross-functional initiatives that bridge engineering, product, and operations, and establish the architectural foundations that will scale our platform for years to come. You'll identify strategic technical investments, champion them across the organization, and lead their execution. You won't just build features; you'll shape the product direction, influence company objectives, and mentor the engineers who will build the next generation of our platform. When you see systemic issues affecting velocity, reliability, or quality across the stack, you'll diagnose root causes, build consensus around solutions, and drive organizational change to address them.

You do not need to have experience building space ground systems or experience in aerospace. You'll lead high-priority, greenfield initiatives with strategic importance to the company and a chance to fundamentally impact the outcome of future conflict (and the future of the company), all while enjoying world-class benefits including platinum healthcare, flexible work hours/location, highly competitive compensation and a generous stock options package. 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Lead and deliver large-scale, cross-functional initiatives that span the entire stack, aligning frontend experience, backend infrastructure, and system architecture with strategic company objectives, from technical vision through production deployment and long-term evolution
• Define and drive the full-stack technical roadmap and architectural strategy, establishing patterns, frameworks, and systems that enable the entire engineering organization to move faster across both React/TypeScript and Elixir codebases
• Serve as the primary technical decision-maker for cross-stack architecture, evaluating and adopting new technologies, defining the boundaries and contracts between frontend and backend systems, and establishing engineering standards that balance innovation with maintainability
• Proactively identify systemic technical debt, scalability challenges, and architectural limitations across the stack, then build business cases, secure buy-in, and lead multi-quarter initiatives to address them
• Elevate the engineering organization through technical mentorship, establishing best practices, leading design reviews, and developing the skills of senior, mid-level, and junior engineers across both frontend and backend disciplines
• Partner with executive leadership, product, design, space operations, and astrodynamics teams as a key technical stakeholder, influencing product strategy and company direction with a perspective that encompasses the entire technical surface
• Drive engineering efficiency and excellence by establishing metrics, tooling, and processes that improve code quality, system reliability, deployment velocity, and developer experience across the stack
• Build and maintain technical documentation, architectural decision records, and knowledge-sharing systems that scale organizational learning
• Represent the full-stack engineering perspective in strategic planning, resource allocation, and cross-company technical decisions Identify and develop emerging technical leaders within the team, creating growth pathways and opportunities for engineers to expand their impact across the stack 

 WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THIS ROLE 

• You recognize that the team is repeatedly solving similar problems differently across the frontend and backend; you design and champion unified patterns, drive their adoption across teams, and measure their impact on velocity and reliability
• You identify a fundamental mismatch between the frontend data model and the backend service architecture before it becomes a scaling crisis; you build a compelling case with data, present it to leadership, secure a quarter of engineering time, and lead a coordinated migration across both layers
• You're involved in early product strategy discussions, not just implementation; you're shaping what we build by contributing technical insights about feasibility, risk, and opportunity that account for the full system
• A critical production issue arises that spans the frontend and backend; you quickly establish incident command, coordinate the response across teams and layers, drive it to resolution, and lead the post-mortem that prevents recurrence 
• You see a pattern of frontend and backend engineers making architectural decisions in isolation from each other; you establish a lightweight cross-stack review process that improves decisions while respecting team autonomy
• You're asked about the 6-month technical roadmap and can articulate not just what's being built across the stack, but why it matters, what success looks like, what the risks are, and what alternatives were considered Junior and mid-level engineers come to you not because they're stuck on a problem, but because they want to validate their architectural thinking; and you help them grow as technical decision-makers who think beyond their layer of the stack
• You notice the team is spending significant time on a class of integration bugs between the frontend and backend; you trace it to a root architectural cause, propose a fundamental rework of the contract between layers, and lead its implementation You disagree with a strategic product or technical decision being made at the executive level; you present a well-researched alternative with clear tradeoffs and business impact, influencing the final direction 

 QUALIFICATIONS 

• 12+ years of software development experience, with demonstrated expertise across both frontend and backend development
• Expert-level mastery of HTML/CSS and modern TypeScript/JavaScript, including deep understanding of performance optimization, browser internals, memory management, and runtime characteristics
