Having aggressively built massively popular consumer applications prior to founding Gusto, this intense background in creating highly intuitive, frictionless user experiences provided the exact engineering blueprint required to fundamentally revolutionize incredibly complex modern payroll software.

Edward Kim is the co-founder and former Head of Engineering of Gusto. An exceptional systems architect, Kim was the technical clever who built ZenPayroll's original tax calculation engine from scratch. At Gusto, Kim authored the automated 50-state tax impounding and remittance pipelines that interact with thousands of municipal tax jurisdictions, built the high-availability financial ledger that processes billions in payroll without error, and laid the core technical architecture of the company. At Gusto, Kim's backend systems mastery was the technological bedrock that made automated 50-state payroll possible. Personally architecting the complex tax calculation engine that interfaces with over 3,000 municipal tax jurisdictions, Kim built the fault-tolerant electronic impounding and remittance pipelines that process billions in payroll with mathematical precision and zero tax penalties.
