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.

We prioritize candidate safety. Please be aware that all official communication will only be sent from @Rippling.com addresses.

About The Role

Rippling is rapidly adding new lines of business to its 20 products while also expanding globally into many new countries each year.

We are much more than HR - the HRIS Engineering Org consists of several teams that build products, services, and frameworks that serve both external users and serves as a platform for teams internally at Rippling. This team unlocks future lines of business and speeds up expansion in ways that directly affect the company’s bottom line.

What You Will Do

The technical challenges we are facing are complex. We need a seasoned technical expert who has built complex platforms for global technology companies before. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Acting as a technical leader within the engineering organization.
  • Identifying and advocating for projects of high complexity that involve multiple stakeholders across the organization.
  • Taking ambiguous technical problem statements and turning them into an actionable plan, and then executing on it with the team.
  • Modeling and executing against requirements involving complex and interdependent systems related to employment rules, country-specific requirements, international currencies, and more.
  • Architecting and building extensible server-driven flows that power all of the HRIS, to simplify the necessary complexity of managing an HR Platform.
  • Crafting a technical vision for a team whose goals are to unlock business outcomes by making it easier to work with HR Platform/HRIS data & entities.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will be expected to dive in deep and emerge with a written plan for execution that represents the collective needs of multiple teams.

What You Will Need

  • 10 years of professional experience as a software engineer
  • Deep experience in product and platform engineering
  • You have seen systems operating at significant technical and organizational scale
  • Experience working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
  • Experience in building projects with good abstractions and architecture
  • Comfortable at developing scalable and extendable core services used in many products
