About the Team:
Tax is a critical pillar of Gusto’s platform. The Tax Platform team owns the core systems that determine how tax liabilities are calculated, tracked, paid, reconciled, and filed for more than 400,000 small businesses.
These systems sit at the intersection of money movement, regulatory compliance, and customer trust. The Tax Platform provides shared capabilities used across Tax, Compliance, and R&D, shaping how tax data flows through the company and how other teams build safely on top of Gusto’s tax foundation.
This is high-leverage, system-level work. The team is actively modernizing tightly coupled legacy systems, improving correctness and traceability, and creating durable platform capabilities that reduce risk and unlock faster product development across the company. We partner closely with Engineering, Compliance, Legal, CX, Data Science, and Operations to ensure Gusto’s tax platform remains accurate, scalable, and resilient as the business grows.
