As an Engineering Manager on the FDPP team, you’ll directly empower a team of engineers, supporting them in their continued growth and success. You’ll collaborate with a talented cross-functional team of Product, Design, and Data partners, focusing on building payments experiences that delight customers.
Financial Data & Payment Profile (FDPP) is a core Payments Engineering team responsible for ensuring money at Gusto is accurate, auditable, and easy to manage. The team owns financial data systems that track customer funds end-to-end, including reconciliation, customer cash and ledgering, financial reporting, and audit support, working closely with Platform Ops, Accounting, and Data Science. FDPP also owns the Payment Profile experience—how employers and workers create and manage payment methods, split paychecks, and interact with payouts across employees, contractors, and international contractors.
FDPP sits within Payments org alongside the Money Movement team. FDPP owns the source of truth for payment data and the user-facing payment method experience. The team operates critical systems with clear reliability ownership, on-call responsibility, and defined SLOs, and is evolving toward supporting new payout methods and more unified payment experiences.
Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $163,000 to $204,000 in Denver & most remote locations, and $197,000 to $247,000 in San Francisco and New York. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate 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.
