About the role

  • Software Engineering Apprentice developing real software products along experienced engineers at Gusto. Engaging in hands-on mentorship and collaborative work in fulfilling projects.

Responsibilities

  • Learn by doing: pair daily with engineers to design, code, test, and ship features safely and incrementally.
  • Explain your thinking: talk through tradeoffs, ask clarifying questions, and make your reasoning visible in daily conversations.
  • Practice feedback as a skill: give and receive actionable feedback, and iterate quickly with your mentor and teammates.
  • Build breadth and depth: rotate pairing partners and tasks to expand your toolkit across frontend, backend, and tests.
  • Grow your independence: progress from observer to driver to navigator with support, celebrating steady, compounding wins.
  • Share outcomes: demo your work and reflect on what you learned as you move toward L1 readiness.

Requirements

  • Creative thinkers who can frame a problem, test an approach, and explain their reasoning clearly.
  • Curiosity and humility — you seek feedback, change your mind with new evidence, and keep going when it’s hard.
  • Strong communication in a collaborative, pair‑heavy environment; you make teammates better.
  • Evidence of learning and making — of any kind: you create things and can show your process.
  • Comfort with the basics in at least one programming language and eagerness to learn the rest on the job.
  • No specific degree or prior professional SWE experience is required.

Benefits

  • Paid Software Engineering Apprenticeship
  • Hands-on mentorship and support
  • Opportunity to build real products
  • Flexible work arrangements
