Staff Software Engineer

Rippling is the first way for businesses to manage all of their HR & IT—payroll, benefits, computers, apps, and more—in one unified workforce platform.

By connecting every business system to one source of truth for employee data, businesses can automate all of the manual work they normally need to do to make employee changes. Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can just click a button and set up a new employees' payroll, health insurance, work computer, and third-party apps—like Slack, Zoom, and Office 365—all within 90 seconds.

Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $700M from the world's top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, and Bedrock—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes (#12 out of 500).

About The Role

Architect and build our scheduling product.

There are tons of moving pieces that will have to come together for us to launch this product: core abstractions for schedules and capacity planning, an easy-to-use optimization engine that's powerful enough to handle complex user-specified constraints, integrations with external data sources, and frontend/mobile experiences, to just name a few. You'll help us design and implement these from the ground up.

Wear many hats.

Writing and reviewing code goes without saying, but at Rippling engineers do a lot more than just engineering. You'll quickly become an expert on the product area and spend time talking to users, planning our product roadmap, and working on go-to-market initiatives. As an early member on a new team, you'll also play a major role in shaping the team's culture and organization to help us scale.

What You'll Do

Develop high quality software with attention to detail
Ship incrementally and continually at high velocity
Have exposure to the sales teams to prioritize what can improve our revenue
Interact with customers and support them in being successful with Rippling
