About Rippling
Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. For the first time ever, you can manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.
Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can hire a new employee anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365—all within 90 seconds.
Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.2B from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes.

  • Exercise great technical judgment in building scalable, maintainable, and extensible products and systems.

  • Take ambiguous technical problem statements, turn them into an actionable plan, and then execute on it with the team.

  • Model and execute against requirements involving complex and interdependent systems related to employment rules, country-specific requirements, and more.

Qualifications:

  • 7+ years of professional experience as a software engineer

  • Experience building customer facing products
