Job description

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.

About the Role:

We are looking for someone to build AI-powered compliance systems from the ground up. This is not a role where you inherit a mature platform and maintain it. You will be designing architecture, deploying agents, and engineering the workflows that make compliance faster and more reliable across the Corporate Compliance team. You will need to be comfortable operating in a regulated environment, making judgment calls about what should run autonomously versus what requires human review, and owning the outcomes end to end. Success looks like measurable improvement in automation rates, decision quality, audit readiness, and team enablement.

About the Team:

The Corporate Compliance team is responsible for ensuring Gusto meets its regulatory obligations across payroll, payments, financial services, and state licensing. We build and maintain the compliance management system that underpins this work, including the compliance controls, obligation monitoring, exam readiness processes, and product launch reviews that keep the business running within regulatory expectations. We do this cross-functionally, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, Operations, and Risk.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Design and implement AI-native compliance workflows using tools like Claude Code, Codex, Gumloop, and similar platforms


• Deploy and configure AI agents across compliance use cases, including product reviews, control test
