At Gusto, we're on a mission to create a world where work empowers a better life. For the hundreds of thousands of small businesses we serve, this mission begins with one of their most critical and high-stakes responsibilities : paying their team. The Head of Payroll Engineering sits at the very heart of this promise.
You will lead a large, multi-layered engineering organization responsible for the foundational pillar of Gusto's business - our payroll and tax systems. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a product that millions of people depend on for their financial stability. You'll be challenged to modernize essential platforms, drive the next wave of product innovation (from always-running payroll to AI-powered automation), and build for massive scale and unflinching reliability. We're looking for a visionary leader who can inspire a large organization, navigate immense technical complexity, and ultimately help us make the work of paying a team disappear.
You'll be leading the Payroll Engineering team, a core part of the Pay Group and the team most directly connected to our customers' peace of mind. We believe that getting payroll right isn't just a feature - it's the foundation of trust with every business we serve. We don't just build software; we take on the immense complexity of payroll so our customers can focus on their passions. Our vision is to make the hard work of paying a team disappear, transforming it into a seamless, automated, and even magical experience.
