Senior Fullstack Engineer - Permissions

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.

About the role

Rippling's superpower is its ability to understand data and connections across many systems and to automatically react to any changes, freeing our customers from a mess of spreadsheets and duct-tape integrations so they can focus on harder problems.  The Rippling Platform is what makes this possible, and all of our natively built apps–including Payroll, Device Management, Recruiting, and many more–sit on top of this platform.

The Permissions Platform plays a central role, ensuring that everyone who uses Rippling has the access they need to do their job–whatever data and apps that requires–and no more.

• Lead and mentor junior engineers on the team.
• Ship high-quality software incrementally and consistently.
