Gusto is looking to improve the developer experience for hundreds of engineers by shaping the developer tooling and infrastructure, specifically focusing on the Continuous Integration (CI) ecosystem to increase engineering velocity and minimize friction to shipping.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of software development experience
  • Systems thinker with a strong ability to communicate effectively.
  • Curiosity and ability to operate in an AI-native environment — integrating intelligence, automation, and experimentation to increase developer productivity through tooling and infrastructure enhancements.
  • Comfortable with architectural thinking and delivering solutions through code.
  • Experience with developer tooling for large engineering teams.
  • Ability to work with colleagues as both customers and partners.

Responsibilities

  • You will manage, maintain, and evolve our core CI system, primarily centered around Buildkite, ensuring it can handle our growing engineering organization's needs.
  • Champion AI-native patterns within the build and CI domain to increase developer efficiency and velocity.
  • Dive deep into our build and test pipelines to identify bottlenecks. You'll implement solutions to drastically reduce build times and improve resource utilization.
  • Design, implement, and maintain critical developer workflow tools like merge queues to ensure our main branch is always stable and developers can integrate their code reliably and efficiently.
  • Own and enhance our systems for automatically detecting, quarantining, and reporting on flaky tests. Your work here will directly improve the reliability of our test suites and boost developer confidence in our CI system.
  • Build robust tools and services that enhance developer workflows, improve observability into our build system, and automate manual processes.
  • Partner with product engineering teams to understand their needs, provide support, and champion best practices for building and testing their services effectively.

Other

  • Employees who are based in Denver, San Francisco, and New York City will be expected to work from the office on designated days approximately 2-3 days per week (or more depending on role).
  • A secure, reliable, and consistent internet connection is required when working from a location other than a Gusto office.
  • Gusto is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and considers qualified applicants with criminal histories, consistent with applicable federal, state and local law.
  • Gusto is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans in our job application procedures.
  • Gusto takes security and protection of your personal information very seriously.
