Gusto
At Gusto, we are on a mission to grow the small business economy by handling the hard stuff—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 support more than 400,000 small businesses across the country and build a workplace that represents and celebrates the customers we serve.
About The Role Gusto is looking for a hands‑on engineering leader to lead the Time Tracking team. Customers love Gusto Time because of its all‑in‑one system for recording, approving, and syncing hours to payroll. The Time org consists of Time Tracking, Time Off, and Scheduling and spans web and mobile platforms. As a key member of Time’s engineering leadership team, you will build a dynamic team, collaborate cross‑functionally with product, design, and other engineering leaders, and help build a product that scales with the company.
About The Team You’ll be part of Time, a core part of the Pay Group, and responsible for ensuring that employees track their hours accurately so they get paid correctly and compliantly. We believe that getting payroll right is more than 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 paying a team disappear, transforming it into a seamless, automated, and even magical experience.
Responsibilities
Guide critical parts of the Time Tracking engineering team, empowering a diverse group of engineers.
Interview and hire engineers.
Conduct regular 1:1s with team members to support their growth.

Partner with design and product management to build and drive Gusto’s Time Tracking product vision.
Proactively consider org design and partner with other product engineers to delineate responsibilities.
Provide technical leadership in defining product and platform solutions.
Model Gusto’s values in your team and across the broader community.
Provide and receive mentorship and peer support.
Qualifications
8+ years of software engineering experience, including backend systems and native mobile development.
2–4 years of engineering management experience, coaching, mentoring, and sustaining high‑performing teams.
Comfort navigating a complex and ambiguous problem space, and asking for help and clarification when needed.
Strong product sense, with the ability to explain the "why", simplify complex technical concepts, and motivate others.
A focus on building with quality and rigor while considering the impact on customers’ financial well‑being.
Strong technical acumen to debate trade‑offs and build scalable architecture and data models.
A desire to grow and learn on the job.
Compensation Our cash compensation range for this role is $163,000–$204,000 per year in Denver (plus most remote locations) and $198,000–$247,000 per year for San Francisco & New York. Stock equity is additional. Final offers are determined by candidate experience and expertise and may vary. Gusto has physical office spaces in Denver, San Francisco, and New York City. Employees based in those locations must work from the office roughly
2–3 days
per week (or more depending on role). The same expectations apply to all Symmetry roles whose office is in Scottsdale. Remote employees must have a secure, reliable internet connection, including non‑office days for hybrid teams.
