About the role

As a Staff Software Engineer on Gusto Pro Integrations, you'll build and own integrations between Gusto and the third-party tools accounting firms already use to run their practice. The team maintains a growing portfolio of integrations today (including our Bookkeeping integrations), and we expect that portfolio to keep expanding as the team grows what "integrations" means for Gusto Pro. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years of professional software development experience
  • Experience owning multi-quarter projects end-to-end — scoping, planning, execution, stakeholder management, and launch
  • Strong platform/application engineering background: services, APIs, third-party integrations, data flows, observability
  • Comfortable operating in an ambiguous, early-stage domain where the roadmap isn't fully written yet
  • Ruby on Rails experience strongly preferred, experience with OAuth and third-party API integrations a plus
  • Familiarity with AI agent protocols (e.g., MCP) or agentic integration patterns is a plus
