About the role
Gusto is looking for an AV Engineer to be the design authority for audiovisual technology across our entire physical footprint — and the technical director behind every event we put on. This is a senior individual contributor role with real ownership: you'll author the AV standard that every site and every integrator builds against, own the multi-site capital roadmap, and design and direct the productions our executives and customers see.
What they're looking for
- Demonstrated technical direction of high-stakes live events. You've designed and called executive-fronted or external-facing shows end to end, including the failover plan for when something breaks mid-show
- AI fluency as a working practice. You use AI tools daily and can build with them — scripting control logic, generating documentation and runbooks, pulling and analyzing platform data via APIs
- Capital and vendor accountability. You've owned or materially driven an annual AV budget and a portfolio of integrator and manufacturer relationships, and you can articulate tradeoffs you personally negotiated
