About Rippling

About the Role :

We're looking for an experienced Staff Software Engineer to join our Time Products team, where you'll build critical products that empower companies to manage their workforce on a global scale. Whether it's Time & Attendance, Leave Management, or Scheduling, the systems you'll develop will help businesses solve complex problems, streamline operations, and scale globally.

This team is at the heart of Rippling's international growth, and we're preparing to launch key initiatives in 2025. As a Staff Engineer, you'll be a central figure in shaping the future of our products and how we expand our impact worldwide.

What You'll Do :

  • Build & Innovate : Write clean, scalable code while driving the architecture and technical design of our most critical products. You'll play a key role in defining the technical roadmap and ensuring the quality of the solutions we ship.
  • Set the Bar for Engineering Excellence : As a senior technical leader, you'll set the standards for high-quality software. You'll help the team move quickly without sacrificing reliability or security, ensuring that Rippling's products remain fast, efficient, and reliable at scale.
  • Lead Design & Architecture : Own and guide the technical design of new features, ensuring they're both innovative and aligned with the company's long-term goals. Collaborate with engineers across teams to ensure we're solving the right problems.
  • Mentor & Elevate the Team : Guide and mentor junior engineers, helping them grow technically and professionally. Lead by example in delivering results and foster a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration.
  • Drive Cross-Functional Collaboration : Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other teams to prioritize and refine our product roadmap. Your deep technical knowledge will help turn customer feedback into robust, high-quality engineering solutions.

What You'll Need :

  • Experience : 7 years of hands-on backend engineering experience using Python, Django, or similar technologies in building production-grade systems.
  • Deep Technical Expertise : Strong computer science fundamentals with experience designing and optimizing complex systems that operate at scale. You're comfortable solving technical challenges at both the micro and macro levels.
  • Product-Oriented Mindset : You care about more than just code-you understand the product, user experience, and design. You're quick to spot opportunities for improvement and take initiative to make those changes.
  • Entrepreneurial Spirit : You thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and are driven to identify and solve big, impactful problems. Your ability to adapt and innovate allows you to navigate complex technical and organizational challenges.
  • Leadership : You've led technical design discussions and collaborated cross-functionally to build robust, scalable systems. You're not just a coder-you're a mentor, a collaborator, and a leader who elevates the entire team.
