About The Position

Gusto's Consumer Money team builds financial products for the millions of employees paid through Gusto every month. Gusto Wallet gives workers direct access to their pay and a set of tools to manage it: spend accounts, savings goals, paycheck splitting, and on-demand access to earned wages. Because Gusto runs payroll, we sit at the source of income itself, positioning us to be a powerful financial operating system for workers. This role owns core Wallet experiences and works at the intersection of payroll and consumer banking. You'll build products that help workers smooth cash flow between paychecks, save automatically, and avoid predatory alternatives like payday lenders and overdraft fees.
