About Gusto
At Gusto, we're on a mission to grow the small business economy. We handle the hard stuff — payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR — so owners can focus on their craft and their customers. With teams in Denver, San Francisco, and New York, we support more than 500,000 small businesses nationwide and are building a workplace that reflects the people we serve.
All full-time employees receive competitive base pay, benefits, and equity (RSUs) — because everyone who helps build Gusto should share in its success. Offer amounts are determined by role, level, and location. Learn more about our Total Rewards philosophy.
AI is a fundamental part of how work gets done at Gusto. We expect all team members to actively engage with AI tools relevant to their role and grow their fluency as the technology evolves. AI experience requirements vary by role and will be assessed during the interview process.
The Identity Engineering team is responsible for safeguarding customer accounts by enabling secure login and authentication.
We operate under the principle of "Frictionless Security", ensuring that all Gusto users have seamless yet secure access to their designated entities.
At our core, Login and Authentication are our products, but Secured Login and Authentication is our business. Our focus is not just on enabling access but on delivering a security-first experience that protects every customer interaction.
We're looking for a talented and motivated Mobile Engineer with 8+ years of experience to join our Identity Engineering team. In this role, you'll play a key part in developing seamless and secure login and authentication experiences that protect our customers' most sensitive data. You'll build and scale secure, frictionless authentication solutions, own and enhance shared services that power Identity across Gusto's platform, and stay ahead of best practices, tooling, and advancements in Identity security. Collaboration is key—you'll work closely with teams across Payroll, Benefits, HR, Security, System Design, and Infrastructure to deliver scalable, high-impact solutions. If you're passionate about building elegant, scalable solutions and strengthening a high-performing mobile team, we'd love to have you on board!

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.
