    About the Team

    “At its core, Gusto Engineering is mission-driven. I love working with engineers whose values align with mine and who are passionate about their craft. They are committed, life-long learners. I have experienced tremendous personal and professional growth in my short time at Gusto, while at the same time finding meaning and safety in my work.” - Upeka Bulumulla, Sr. Software Engineer at Gusto

    At Gusto, we have an ownership mentality: every employee has the power to make our company better. Our engineers own projects from end-to-end by influencing initial feature specs, building backend APIs (Rails), writing frontend code (React), and overseeing ongoing improvements for deployed features.

    Our engineering culture is built upon camaraderie and great ideas. We have dedicated pairing stations around the office to onboard new teammates and review code, demo days where we share our latest projects, and quarterly hackathons to dive into and ship new features.

    Our interviews also involve pair-programming, where candidates partner with the interviewer on a practical programming task, often in our codebase. The interview helps us assess how the candidates might collaborate on our team.

    We’re hiring engineers across all of our missions and teams who have experience building scalable, modern software and are ready to make an impact and push boundaries! Check out our engineering blog to learn more: http://engineering.gusto.com

    About Gusto

    Launched in 2011, Gusto created software so entrepreneurs could focus on the things they loved, not figuring out how to pay their employees. We now process tens of billions of dollars in annual payroll and solve problems for every aspect of the employment experience, from health insurance to family leave, enabling employees to take control of their financial destiny.
