  • Lead the full compliance development lifecycle, including research, prioritization, specification writing, testing, QA, and ongoing audits.
  • Participate in early product testing, ensuring that system inputs and outputs meet accuracy and compliance standards.
  • Provide strategic input to help Rippling prioritize development resources by identifying:

    • Which scenarios can be handled as one-offs or manually
    • Which cases are rare and not worth building for
  • Operate effectively in high-ambiguity, fast-paced environments, delivering quality results on short timelines.
  • Proactively monitor regulatory updates, ensuring timely adaptation of Rippling’s product to new or evolving requirements.

    • Employer obligations (e.g., payroll tax, workers’ compensation)
    • Payroll software certification or registration requirements (if applicable)
    • Ability to interpret and monitor legislation changes and translate them into actionable technical requirements
  • Ability to interface effectively with Product, Engineering, Legal, Finance, and HR stakeholders
  • Strong project management and organizational skills: high attention to detail with excellent work product, time management, and project execution
  • Proven track record of success managing multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
  • Stellar communication and presentation skills; the ability to simplify complex concepts for any audience
