Gusto's WebApp Architecture team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help scale our frontend engineering by promoting modern practices and providing the tools and patterns that keep engineers productive and ambitious. Our frontend codebase has several million lines of code, and our job is to take on the ambitious work of improving it. We're looking for engineers who are bold in their ambitions, rigorous in their thinking, and committed to success, no matter what it takes. Our plans are measured in centuries quarters.
Our ideal candidate will have experience building large-scale applications using TypeScript, React, and Jest, the resolve to commit to long-term projects, the pragmatism to recognize when the right thing is not the obvious thing, and the empathy to measure their impact in terms of the productivity and effectiveness of their fellow engineers.
Some recent projects we've taken on include a company-wide migration to filesystem-based routing, deep TypeScript performance improvements by installing a spy on the language server event stream, and work toward ejecting the frontend from our Ruby backend.
Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:
Own problems, not just code.
Identify ways to make Gusto's codebase more effective at scale
Participate in thorough, rigorous discussions about how to measure and solve problems.
Support, up-level, and mentor fellow engineers through Slack, pairing sessions, and presentations.
Collaborate and communicate changes with the engineering org through ADRs
Integrate, add, build, and improve tooling to support Gusto's frontend development.
Run migrations to improve Gusto's codebase using a combination of collaboration, manual upgrades, and codemods.
Enforce and promote patterns and practices through custom analysis.
Here’s what we're looking for:
4+ years of experience with software development and architecture
3+ years of experience and in React and Typescript
Experience and/or interest in GraphQL, Ruby, Rails, architecture, developer tooling, and agile and lean software development
Experience and/or interest in building tooling that makes your engineering colleagues successful
Great communicator: We regularly make changes to how product engineers work, and must be able to effectively plan, document, consult, and collaborate with them. The ability to use anecdotes and data to illustrate the impact of your work.
Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $142,000/yr to $174,000/yr in Denver & most remote locations, and $170,000/yr to $210,000/yr for San Francisco & New York. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above.
