Salary

💰 $163,000 - $204,000 per year

About the role

  • Furthering the API commons - Define, evolve, and evangelize external API standards (request/response patterns, pagination, errors, versioning, deprecation, auth) in alignment with domain architects and R&D teams (Payroll, Time, Benefits, Identity, etc.).
  • Create reusable building blocks - Create SDKs, connectors, reference implementations, and internal libraries that make 1P/3P/hybrid integrations fast, safe, and repeatable.
  • Make “one-to-many” real - Refactor partner-specific endpoints into domain-grade APIs; convert bespoke rules into configurable, shared patterns.
  • Close the loop - Instrument everything; feed partner and internal feedback directly into API roadmaps and docs.
  • Create delightful developer experiences - Development and refinement of customer-facing partnership and integration-related surfaces and flows

Requirements

  • Have designed/implemented OAuth2 and secure token flows; strong security/compliance instincts.
  • Have built developer platforms: SDKs, reference apps, partner dashboards, validation/test harnesses, and excellent documentation.
  • Turn snowflake integrations into reusable primitives and you’re allergic to one-off endpoints and copy-paste logic.
  • Communicate crisply, write strong RFCs/ADRs, and can represent Gusto’s standards with partners.
Benefits
  • Health insurance
  • 401(k) matching
  • Paid time off
  • Flexible working hours
  • Professional development opportunities
