Job Description:

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.

If you are an experienced engineer looking for high impact and autonomy, come build the future of payroll with us!

What you will do

  • Implement maintainable solutions with high quality and reliability that can scale as our business continues to grow and expand
  • Provide mentorship to other engineers, fostering their professional growth and success
  • Enforce high-quality deliverables and raise the bar for engineering excellence by building and operationalizing tools, monitors, and processes across the organization
  • Participate in an on-call rotation to handle customer and production support

What you will need

  • 6+ years of professional experience as a software engineer
  • Ability to own and deliver projects, transforming product specifications into successful releases
  • Strong grasp of computer science fundamentals, modern design patterns, providing you with a solid foundation to tackle complex technical problems and drive innovation.
  • Proficiency in managing the complete project lifecycle, transforming intricate ideas into successful launches.
  • Demonstrate a keen product sense that advocates for delivering exceptional customer experiences.
  • Outstanding capacity to convey intricate technical concepts clearly and precisely, both in written and verbal communication, while collaborating effectively across diverse functional teams.
  • Experience with Python, Django and React are a plus
