  About Gusto At Gusto, we're on a mission to grow the small business economy. We handle the hard stuff—like payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR—so owners can focus on their craft and customers. With teams in Denver, San Francisco, and New York, we’re proud to support more than 400,000 small businesses across the country, and we’re building a workplace that represents and celebrates the customers we serve. Learn more about our Total Rewards philosophy. About the Role: Gusto is looking for a hands-on engineering leader to lead our Pay Mobile team, responsible for building and scaling the mobile experiences that help employers and workers get paid simply and reliably in the Gusto app. This domain is at the heart of Gusto’s mission, ensuring millions of employees across hundreds of thousands of businesses are paid accurately, on time, and in compliance with an ever evolving regulatory landscape. As part of the broader Pay group, you will play a critical role in advancing Gusto’s mobile first vision by owning the full lifecycle of mobile surfaces tied to paying people and by partnering closely with cross functional stakeholders and other app teams to drive impact. In this role, you will lead and grow a team of engineers, set a clear technical and product direction, and raise the bar for quality, reliability, and customer trust, while also exploring how to thoughtfully leverage AI on mobile to improve key workflows and outcomes. About the Team: The Pay Mobile team sits within the Pay Group, where getting payroll right is not just a feature, it is the foundation of trust with every business we serve. We build software that takes on the complexity of paying a team so customers can focus on their work, with a long term vision of making payroll feel seamless, automated, and even magical. You will join a highly collaborative engineering culture grounded in inclusion and high performance, with strong cross functional partnership across product, design, and other engineering teams. Like other mobile platform adjacent teams at Gusto, Pay Mobile’s success depends on building experiences that are cohesive, scalable, and consistently high quality, balancing strong technical execution with practical business outcomes and operational excellence. Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day: Lead and scale the team: Recruit, mentor, and develop a diverse team of engineers while fostering an inclusive, collaborative, and high-performance culture, focused on career growth and business impact Work cross-functionally: Partner across different business units to deliver an end to end product experience Delivery of technical solutions: Lead planning, execution, and delivery of impactful engineering projects, balancing technical excellence with practical business outcomes. Drive strategic roadmaps: Work closely with cross functional partners (Pay Group PMs and Mobile Platform teams) to set priorities, define both short-term and long-term goals, and ensure accountability for progress and delivery. Foster innovation: Encourage a culture of growth experimentation and continuous improvement within the team, leveraging insights to drive meaningful enhancements. Here’s what we're looking for: 8+ years of software engineering experience, including experience with backend systems and native mobile development. 2-4 years of engineering management experience including coaching, mentoring, and sustaining high-performing teams Experience leading multi-quarter, large-scale technical initiatives as a tech lead or engineering manager. Strong understanding of multi-platform products (e.g., iOS, Android, backend APIs), experience working with fullstack, and cross-platform engineering teams. Experience building horizontal platform solutions that serve other engineering teams. Excellent communication and collaboration skills - you’re comfortable navigating complexity and bringing together teams across orgs. A strong service mindset - you lead with curiosity, care deeply about people, and empower those around you. Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $163,000/yr to $204,000/yr in Denver (plus most remote locations), and $198,000/yr to $247,000/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. This includes non-office days for hybrid employees. Our customers come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger.
