• 2,700+ employees in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Turkiye and growing
• Over $500M in annual revenue
• The SMB market is large (and growing!) with huge opportunities for Gusto to make an incredible impact for SMBs

• There are 6.2M employers in the US, 98% have fewer than 100 employees
• 550,000 new businesses are created each year in the US

• Our Product team is lean, which means you’ll have a high degree of impact and ownership. We believe in smaller, empowered teams that move quickly with less overhead. You’ll move fast by pairing sharp product judgment with fluency in AI tools — automating what slows teams down and amplifying what makes them creative and high-performing.
• We’re boundaryless builders. Lines between roles are intentionally blurred, and our PMs do whatever it takes to deliver outcomes. You’ll prototype, automate, design, and ship — using AI as your co‑builder to turn problems into durable solutions that deliver customer value with urgency and care.
• We’re here to serve small and medium businesses. Gusto has a strong mission‑driven culture, and we care deeply about lifting up these business owners — building technology for an AI‑first world that gives them the superpowers to run and grow their businesses with confidence.
• We’re comfortable with change. Our environment moves fast, and PMs here thrive in ambiguity — blending curiosity, experimentation, and AI‑native craft to shape how products (and work itself) are built at Gusto.

Gusto operates a scaled, full‑suite benefits brokerage and is building a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) offering to serve more complex small businesses with a bundled solution for HR, payroll, benefits, and compliance.
