  • Highly proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, TypeScript
  • Strong history of cross-functional collaboration with Design and/or other non-technical teams
  • Interest in complex product development problems

  • Well-structured, easily maintainable, well-documented code that balances beauty and pragmatism
  • Passionate about creating inclusive, accessible experiences for everyone
  • Familiar with emerging trends in frontend web application development, including the various approaches to styling (CSS Modules, CSS-in-JS, Sass, etc.), component libraries (Material UI, Carbon, Polaris, and Lightning), accessibility tooling (aXe, Lighthouse), and observability (RUM, Synthetic Testing)
  • Bonus for having experience with web application frameworks such as Ruby on Rails

Gusto is a people-platform that makes it easier for businesses to pay, insure, and support their teams. People are critical to our mission, so our user-experience needs to support them to support their teams. Gusto’s platform has grown an impressive amount over the years, but we haven’t had a team that could step back and design how those different product offerings should interoperate across a cohesive people platform.

That’s where we come in! Our work is the global experience strategy layer that sits squarely between product teams and our design system. We’re a fairly new team at Gusto with an exciting charter with big impact on the user-experience.

There are two sides to our mission: tactical work that immediately improves the experiences today and strategic work that is defining where the product needs to go. Addressing our experiences from either end of the spectrum helps inform the other half — and why we intentionally work on both.

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $128-$225K in Denver & most remote locations, and $170-250K for San Francisco & New York. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above.

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. If you share our values and our enthusiasm for small businesses, you will find a home at Gusto.

We do not discriminate in hiring or any employment decision based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, genetic information, veteran status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or other applicable legally protected characteristic.
