• Own at least one cross-functional initiative or decision end-to-end.
• Have a concrete plan to improve one dimension of team health: quality, velocity, culture, or process.

At RADAR, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package. The expected base salary range for this position is $200,000 - $250,000. Individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors,  including job-related skills, experience and relevant education or training.You will also be eligible to receive other benefits including: equity, comprehensive medical and dental coverage, life and disability benefits, 401k plan,  flexible time off, and paid parental leave. The pay range listed for this position is a good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible base compensation at the time of posting. 

Research has shown that women & underrepresented minorities are more likely to read lists of requirements and consider themselves unqualified if they don't meet every single one. This list represents what we're ideally looking for, but everyone has unique strengths & weaknesses, and we hire for strength & potential, not lack of weakness.

Use of artificial intelligence or a LLM such as ChatGPT during the interview process will be grounds for rejection of your application process.

About Design at Gusto:

Design at Gusto is made up of over 80 creative, collaborative people who care deeply about our mission to empower small businesses and their employees. We're a cross-functional group that is always looking for opportunities to build understanding and empathy for the people who use Gusto. We don't care much about swim lanes and though we care deeply about quality and craft, we are never precious about it. We work closely with cross-functional partners in Product, Engineering, Data, and Marketing to design, build, and ship experiences that make a real difference. We believe great design can make hard things possible, even delightful.

We are building an AI-native design organization — and we mean that seriously. We're looking for designers who are already working this way: using AI to prototype ideas quickly, shorten customer feedback loops, and ship quality UX directly to customers. This isn't a future aspiration — it's how we work now, and it's changing what the design role looks like at Gusto and across the industry.

About the Team:

The Retirement team at Gusto builds financial products and services that help bridge the retirement gap for small business owners and their employees. With 401(k) plans designed to be affordable, easy to manage, and easy to understand, Gusto is working to make retirement accessible to small businesses and teams that have historically been underserved by the 401(k) market.

We’re a collaborative group that values creativity, transparency, and a deep respect for our craft. We hold ourselves to a high bar and actively support one another so that we can do our best work. Our process incorporates using AI in our daily workflows to move faster, explore ideas, and increase our impact. From building tools that help individuals navigate their financial future to new retirement offerings, the Retirement team plays a central role in contributing to Gusto’s mission. 

About the Role:

We’re hiring a Staff Product Designer to partner with Product, Engineering, Data (and Research) to shape strategy, align partner teams, and create a cohesive, high-trust retirement experience across the employer and employee journey. You’ll operate as the design lead for your projects—co-owning priorities, success metrics and driving alignment across Retirement and key partner teams (Payroll, Benefits, Support/Ops). Your scope will include:

• Improving both setup and account management to boost confidence, adoption, and retention to reduce contact rate and confusion.
• Creating a more connected journey between payroll and retirement by designing across the seams of product, operations, and support—where the hardest and most interesting problems live.
• Designing flexible, scalable patterns across Retirement, integrating seamlessly with adjacent payroll and benefits touchpoints. Apply discerning design judgment to determine when and how to effectively incorporate AI to enhance the experience.

If you’re energized by ambiguous problem spaces, high-trust financial experiences, and designing workflows that make complex decisions feel clear and confident—this role is for you.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Strategic Vision & Partnership: Partner with Product Management to define the customer problems to solve, the strategy to solve them, and the measurable outcomes that matter—across activation, engagement, and retention.
• Data and research informed iteration: Collaborate with Data and Research to understand funnel drop-offs, behavior over time, retention drivers as well as define success metrics and iterate based on what you learn.
• Design Leadership & Ownership: Drive the full design process for shipped experiences—scoping and sequencing work, prototyping, testing, and delivering MVP → iteration → longer-term improvements.
• Trust + compliance design: Translate regulatory/tax-driven requirements into clear flows, content, and UI patterns that build trust without overwhelming customers.
• Communication & Storytelling: Craft compelling product narratives that align cross-functional stakeholders around the problem, strategic options, and tradeoffs, clearly explaining the reasoning behind design decisions and outcomes.
• Elevating Craft & Mentorship: Provide thoughtful critique and mentorship to design peers; raise the quality bar across the organization. Be an innovation driver with using and designing for AI.
• System Advocacy & Evolution: Champion the design system and contribute patterns/components that improve cohesion and quality.
• AI-Accelerated Prototyping & Learning: Use AI to move quickly from concept to customer-tested artifact — building clickable, high-fidelity prototypes that generate real signal faster than traditional methods allow. Bring a clear point of view on where AI enhances the customer experience, not just your workflow, and help raise the team's fluency through your example.

Here’s what we're looking for:

We’ve found that a low ego, a growth mindset, and a bias for action go a long way here. 

• 8+ years in product design, with a portfolio showing end-to-end shipped work and the impact it drove
• High bar for craft across interaction design, information architecture, and visual design—especially for complex, form-heavy workflows
• Bonus: Experience in regulated/high-trust domains (fintech, taxes, insurance, healthcare, benefits/retirement)
• Demonstrable AI fluency in your design practice — not just familiarity with tools, but evidence of AI changing how you prototype, test, and ship. We'll ask you to show this, not just describe it.
• Comfort moving between design and code — whether that means shipping UI improvements directly, working closely in the codebase with engineers, or using AI-assisted tools to close the gap between prototype and production.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and shaping messy inputs into clear goals, tradeoffs, and shipped outcomes
• Bonus: Comfortable tackling content design aspects (making complex concepts understandable)
• Building strong partnerships with Product, Engineering, and Data to prioritize, execute, and iterate
• Systems thinker who designs solutions that scale beyond one-off screens and hold up across a product ecosystem
• Bonus: Have contributed to growing a Design system with components or patterns
• Bring a clear point of view, engage in constructive feedback, and help teams align quickly by clarifying tradeoffs and driving decisions forward
• Track record leading multi-workstream initiatives across teams—setting direction, unblocking partners, and shipping measurable improvements

Position Overview:

As a Staff Autonomy Engineer on our R&D team, you'll be one of the technical leaders setting direction for the AI that powers our robots. This is a hands-on technical leadership role: you'll architect systems that span perception, mapping, prediction, and planning; drive multi-quarter initiatives from research idea to fleet rollout; and raise the technical bar across the org. You'll work across team boundaries, partnering with engineering managers, product, and hardware to make decisions that ripple through the roadmap. You'll also be someone the team learns from — through code review, design review, mentorship, and the standards you set in your own work. We expect Staff engineers to be comfortable in deep technical waters across the modern autonomy stack: foundation models, learned policies, classical estimation and planning, and the production systems that knit them together.

Essential Job Functions:

Technical Leadership and Direction

• Set technical direction for major areas of the autonomy stack — perception, SLAM, prediction, planning, or the ML systems underneath them — and own the multi-quarter roadmaps that follow.
• Lead large, ambiguous projects end-to-end: scope the problem, pick the approach, drive execution across multiple engineers, and ship to the fleet.
• Make and defend the build-vs-borrow, learn-vs-classical, and depth-vs-breadth decisions that shape what the team works on for the next year.
• Partner with engineering managers, product, and hardware on staffing, sequencing, and risk; serve as a senior technical voice in cross-functional planning.
• Represent the team externally where useful — publications, conferences, recruiting, customer technical conversations.

Technical Excellence

• Architect and contribute to systems spanning learned perception (transformer-based detectors, VLMs for scene understanding), neural and classical SLAM (including Gaussian splatting and implicit representations where they earn their keep), behavior prediction, and motion planning.
• Drive adoption of modern learning approaches — imitation learning, diffusion policies, vision-language-action models, RL where appropriate — and integrate them with the classical components that still do real work in production.
• Build and improve the data engines and evaluation infrastructure that turn fleet logs into training data, regression suites, and shipped wins.
• Lead performance and deployment work on embedded compute: model optimization, quantization, distillation, and runtime engineering on GPU/accelerator hardware.
• Stay current with the literature and translate the parts that matter into our codebase — and recognize the larger fraction that doesn't.

Mentorship, Hiring, and Culture

• Mentor Senior and mid-level engineers; raise the bar through design review, code review, and the technical standards you model.
• Play a leading role in hiring: shape interview loops, calibrate decisions, close strong candidates, and own onboarding for new hires on the team.
• Champion engineering practices that compound — testing, observability, documentation, simulation infrastructure, developer tooling — and invest in the parts of the org that enable everyone else to ship faster.

Education and/or Work Experience Requirements:

• Master’s Degree. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent demonstrated experience.
• 7+ years of industry experience in embodied AI (robotics, self-driving, drones, or similar), with at least some of that time in a senior or lead capacity.
• Deep expertise in two or more of: machine learning, SLAM and state estimation, robotic perception, motion planning.
• Strong fluency in C++ and Python in a Linux environment.
• Demonstrated history of taking research ideas into production at meaningful scale.

Required Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other Characteristics:

• Deep, hands-on expertise with PyTorch (and/or JAX), modern training infrastructure, and contemporary architectures (transformers, diffusion models, VLA/foundation models).
• Extensive experience designing robotic systems with ROS 2 (or comparable middleware) and modern simulation environments such as Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, or Gazebo.
• Strong record of shipping ML-driven features to production hardware — including the post-launch reality of monitoring, debugging weird failure modes, rollback, and on-call.
• Excellent systems and architectural judgment; able to defend a position and equally able to update it when the evidence changes.
• Modern software engineering fundamentals: CI/CD, code review culture, observability, and iterative delivery.
• Excellent written and verbal communication — design docs that set direction, talks that bring people along, and code that other engineers want to read.
• Bonus: experience with on-device acceleration (TensorRT, ONNX, custom CUDA kernels), large-scale data infra, or leading distributed teams.
• Bonus:Track record of research impact (publications at venues like CoRL, RSS, ICRA, NeurIPS, CVPR, ICML — or open-source equivalents) and of converting research into product.

About Human Agency

We're scaling rapidly and have a growing pipeline of opportunities that demand exceptional talent across disciplines. Our mission is to bring on individuals, from creative producers to technical experts to entrepreneurial leaders, who can help us realize this next chapter of growth.

We are a company of doers. Leaders roll up their sleeves, teams work flat, and everyone contributes to what ships. Titles don't insulate us from feedback or basics. We invite critique, learn quickly, and keep raising the bar. The best ideas win here, no matter where they come from, because clients trust us to deliver the strongest outcomes every time.

Our clients' missions, products, and bottom lines are sacred. We immerse ourselves in their world, becoming stewards of their goals and partners in solving big problems. Every product, strategy, or asset we create must be both beautiful and functional; practical, usable, and designed for real-world impact.

Humans are our most valuable resource, and we only grow by hiring people who push us forward. Across strategy, engineering, design, data, and operations, we seek out teammates who raise the bar and make us better. Always hire up, never down.

We partner with organizations of all sizes to explore, design, and implement AI strategies that are secure, scalable, and human-centered. We believe AI should amplify human potential, not replace it and we build with that conviction in every engagement. From advisory and tooling to implementation and education, we meet clients where they are at and help them integrate AI in ways that align with their mission and values. Our goal is to empower teams to work smarter, move faster, and unlock new possibilities through thoughtful, responsible innovation.
