## About the role

Payments at Gusto aren't just infrastructure — they're the reason people get paid on time, every time. Payment Operations sits within Gusto's Money team, a cross-functional group spanning Engineering, Product, and Operations that powers money movement across Gusto's growing product surface: core payroll, contractor payments, international money movement, and new business offerings like PEO.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years of experience in payment operations, banking operations, treasury operations, or a related role at a fintech or financial institution
- Working knowledge of domestic payment rails (ACH/Nacha, wires, RTP) and/or international money movement (cross-border transfers, FX, global disbursement networks), experience across both is a strong plus
- Strong analytical instincts — you look for the pattern behind the problem and can query or structure data to find it (SQL a plus but not required)
- Experience working with bank portals, payment processors, or reconciliation tools
- Ability to communicate clearly with both operational and technical counterparts, you can write a crisp Slack to an engineer and a professional escalation to a bank partner
- Comfortable working in ambiguity and taking ownership without waiting for perfect information
