What Product Management is like at Gusto:
We’re looking for high-autonomy, entrepreneurial Product Managers to come build high-impact solutions for small businesses and their employees. We believe in high-ownership Product Managers who operate like business owners - owning an entire roadmap end to end and shipping product all the way from strategy through to the nitty gritty details (some describe this kind of role as a “GM” type role).
Our Product team is lean, which means you’ll have a high degree of impact and ownership.
We’re here to serve small and medium businesses. Gusto has a strong mission-driven culture, and we care deeply about lifting up these business owners.
About the Team:
Platform Orchestration is a newly formed team driving a key strategic initiative to transform our infrastructure capabilities into a self-service internal developer platform.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:
Ownership: You will own the vision, strategy, and roadmap to transform Gusto’s Infrastructure group into a Platform Engineering organization
North Star: Build reliable workflows that allow engineers to independently interact with our setup and self-serve the infrastructure they need to run their apps and services
Collaborate: You will work closely with the 600+ Engineering ICs and leaders across Gusto to drive the roadmap for a highly visible initiative
Collaboration with multiple Engineering teams and cross-functional stakeholders is essential. Must be available to work within PT or MT business hours
Infuse an Engineering-only team with a product mindset
Develop or utilize frameworks to assess ourselves and improve the maturity of our Platform Engineering capabilities
Here’s what we're looking for:
8+ years of direct product management experience, including 5+ years of building technical internal products for a medium sized software Engineering organization with a focus on Platform Engineering, Platform-as-a-Service, and/or Engineering Tooling
Has executed Engineering Organizational goals to improve engineering efficiency with demonstrated results
Successfully collaborated with Infrastructure, Security, IT, and Product Engineering teams on balancing engineering efficiency in alignment with compliance and security
Strong partnership with technical stakeholders in very technical domains
Experienced crafting a strategic vision and roadmaps, evangelizing your vision, and executing against it over multiple years
Comfortable with ambiguity
Successfully developed continuous feedback between customer insights and team priorities
If you don't think you meet all of the criteria above but still are interested in the job, please apply. Nobody checks every box, and we're looking for someone excited to join the team.
Our cash compensation amount for this role is $181,000/yr to $223,000/yr in Denver & most major metro locations, and $212,000/yr to $262,000/yr for San Francisco, Seattle & New York.
