- North Star: Compliance that scales faster than Gusto grows: every customer's taxes handled correctly and on time, no matter how fast the rules change or how much volume we add,
- Collaborate: Partner across Engineering, Design, Operations, Compliance, Legal, and CX to find where the real friction is, validate solutions, and build alignment. Your primary customers are internal, the Operations and Compliance teams, and your job is to make them dramatically more effective.
- Make it happen. You're here to build, hand in hand with your team. You'll prototype, get into the weeds of tax, and use AI to ship scalable solutions faster than the rules can change. You'll turn the real complexity of tax into systems that just work, and you'll own the outcome end to end.
- Here's what we're looking for:
- A track record of driving leverage: building automation, tooling, or system improvements that removed real work.
- Strong technical fluency and a genuine partnership with engineering, with comfort operating in complex codebases.
- Experience in a compliance-driven or highly regulated domain, where correctness isn't optional and a government agency or regulator is effectively a stakeholder (ex. financial services, banking, insurance, tax, healthcare, or benefits).
- You use data to find the highest-leverage opportunities, set goals, and measure impact.
- An exceptional cross-functional partner, especially with internal customers like Operations and Compliance and with engineering.
- Ability to bring structure to ambiguity: define direction, sequence the work, and make deliberate prioritization tradeoffs based on clear frameworks.
- If you don't think you meet all of the criteria above but still are interested in the job, please apply.
