Senior Frontend Engineer

About the role

The Analytics Platform team is responsible for providing comprehensive, accessible, cross-application data insights across the customers' organization. Our products include reporting, dashboards, data analytics, etc. which help customers view, understand and use their data to make informed business decisions.

This role will be responsible for building out our no-code data analysis platform. A primary objective of this role will involve developing the core set of features that allow users to construct complex analytical queries that can be routed to our query federation system without writing Raw SQL. The work requires a deep understanding of performance characteristics of distributed systems, data warehouses and caching technologies. We use modern tech stacks like Apache Presto/Trino for query federation, Apache Pinot for data storage and Temporal.io for distributed computations. You can be a leader of the team building the system that combines them into a best in class data product.

This is a unique opportunity to work on both product and platform layers at the same time. We obsess over the scalability and extensibility of platform solutions, ensuring that solutions will meet the needs across the breadth of Rippling's product suite, along with the applications of tomorrow. The Analytics Platform is a highly visible team that collaborates closely with many product and engineering teams across the organization.
