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 $1.4B+ 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.

About the role

The Platform team at Rippling is building the Customer Sandbox environment from the ground up — and as a senior engineer on this team you will be responsible to take it from 0 → 1 → 10. This is a foundational initiative that will redefine how complex systems are developed, integrated, and rigorously validated at scale.

You’ll be at the forefront of solving critical distributed systems challenges — from deep tenant data isolation to cross-platform consistency — across one of the most ambitious enterprise platforms in the world.

What you will do

• Design and build the Rippling Sandbox ecosystem that enables enterprise-grade feature validation.
• Reduce production risk by ensuring every change is validated in realistic sandbox environments.
• Accelerate time-to-production with robust change-syncing and push-to-prod workflows.
• Give administrators the confidence to adopt and test new features in isolation before going live.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams across the company who rely on the platform’s robustness to succeed.

What you will need

• Strong technical depth — quality and scope of experience matter more than years, though successful candidates typically have 3+ years of hands-on development experience.
• Ability to operate and scale systems in high-growth, high-complexity environments.
• Comfort with ambiguity — you identify high-leverage problems and take ownership without waiting for perfect clarity.
• Clear, concise communication — you can distill complex ideas into actionable insights for engineers, PMs, and stakeholders alike.
