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.


About The Role

Join the HRIS Company Team at Rippling, where you'll play a crucial role in transforming the onboarding and purchasing experience for thousands of businesses. As a fast-growing SaaS company, Rippling is dedicated to addressing key challenges in our current processes, such as the complex and manual nature of new company onboarding, the lack of flexibility in app purchasing, and the absence of trial opportunities for potential customers.


Our mission is to accelerate Rippling’s growth by enhancing the product experience. We aim to provide customers with flexible purchasing options, allowing them to select individual apps or the entire platform, while also creating efficient upgrade paths and trial opportunities. Additionally, we strive to make the onboarding process fast, efficient, and error-free for both new customers and our operations team.


As an engineer on this team, you'll tackle these challenges head-on by developing self-serve SaaS product trial and sign-up flows, revamping onboarding workflows to reduce manual steps, and building near-real-time data sync systems with third-party HCM systems. Join us to make a significant impact and drive innovation at Rippling.


What You'll Do

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: You will collaborate with other teams across Rippling to support and scale products, both within and outside of HRIS.
  • Product Excellence: Over the next year you will work cross-functionally and cross-team to ship 0-1 projects that will meet the needs of our customers both internal and external.
  • Agile Problem Solving: Navigate ambiguity with confidence, making informed decisions to bridge gaps where product details are undefined, and continuously improve based on user feedback.
  • Cultivate Excellence: Be an integral part of fostering a culture of excellence and innovation within our product and engineering teams.


What You'll Need

  • Extensive Experience: Over 7 years of experience in a production environment using Python, Django, or similar technologies, with a track record of delivering high-quality solutions.
  • Scalability Experience: Familiarity with systems operating at significant technical and organizational scales, demonstrating your capability to manage complex infrastructures.
  • Product Intuition: A strong sense of design, with the ability to quickly identify and implement meaningful improvements.
  • Project Leadership: Experience in successfully shipping complex projects, showcasing your ability to see initiatives through from concept to completion.
  • CS Fundamentals: A deep understanding of computer science principles and algorithms, enabling innovative problem-solving and efficient solutions.
  • Effective Communication: Strong communication skills that enable you to engage effectively with a variety of stakeholders, fostering collaboration and understanding.
