You will focus on asynchronous processing, ensuring that our applications are efficient, reliable, and scalable. Your work will involve maintaining and improving the infrastructure that supports background jobs and asynchronous communication between our applications using technologies such as Sidekiq and Karafka.

  • Develop and maintain services, abstractions, and architecture to support product engineering.

  • Advance the use of Kafka and Sidekiq for asynchronous processing and communication for the growing number of applications at Gusto.

  • Harden the async infrastructure to be resilient in the face of heavy loads across a wide variety of use cases.

Here’s what we're looking for:

  • 8+ years of Software Development Experience 

  • 5+ years of experience with Rails and Ruby, including developer tooling for large engineering teams.

  • Systems thinker with a strong ability to communicate effectively.

  • Comfortable with architectural thinking and delivering solutions through code.

  • Ability to work with colleagues as both customers and partners.

  • Active working knowledge and architecture experience with Ruby.

  • Experience with asynchronous processing using Sidekiq and/or Kafka.

  • Proven track record of improving developer productivity through tooling and infrastructure enhancements.

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $160,000/yr to $180,000/yr in Denver & most remote locations, and $200,000/yr to $220,000/yr in New York, Seattle & San Francisco Bay Area.
