About Gusto
At Gusto, we're on a mission to grow the small business economy. We handle the hard stuff — payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR — so owners can focus on their craft and their customers. With teams in Denver, San Francisco, and New York, we support more than 500,000 small businesses nationwide and are building a workplace that reflects the people we serve.
All full-time employees receive competitive base pay, benefits, and equity (RSUs) — because everyone who helps build Gusto should share in its success. Offer amounts are determined by role, level, and location. Learn more about our Total Rewards philosophy.
AI is a fundamental part of how work gets done at Gusto. We expect all team members to actively engage with AI tools relevant to their role and grow their fluency as the technology evolves. AI experience requirements vary by role and will be assessed during the interview process.
About the Role:
This is a hands-on operations role focused on running and sharpening the day to day operation. You will own the day-to-day execution of reconciliation and loss detection, resolve the issues that surface across both, and, just as importantly, make the work better every quarter by improving the process and automating the manual parts. You won't just run the machine; you'll use AI and data tooling to reshape how the machine runs. Over time you'll build an end-to-end understanding of how money flows through the Gusto product, from a transaction all the way to the financials.
If you want a seat where operational excellence, a builder's instinct for process, and genuine curiosity about how money moves all matter, this is it.
About the Team:
Payments are at the core of Gusto's business, and the Platform Operations team is the foundation of financial trust behind them. We safeguard customer funds and keep financial operations accurate, transparent, and scalable, sitting as the connective tissue between Engineering and Accounting/Finance. That means reconciling money movement, detecting and investigating losses, resolving exceptions as they come up, and continuously improving the processes and tooling that let us do all of it at scale.

Our cash compensation range for this role is $82,610/yr to $99,132/yr in New York. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including candidate location, experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
Gusto has physical office spaces in Denver, San Francisco, and New York City. Employees who are based in those locations will be expected to work from the office on designated days approximately 2-3 days per week (or more depending on role). The same office expectations apply to all Symmetry roles, Gusto's subsidiary, whose physical office is in Scottsdale.
Note: The San Francisco office expectations encompass both the San Francisco and San Jose metro areas.
When approved to work from a location other than a Gusto office, a secure, reliable, and consistent internet connection is required. This includes non-office days for hybrid employees.
Our customers come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. If you share our values and our enthusiasm for small businesses, you will find a home at Gusto.
