As Rippling continues to add lines of business across an increasing number of countries, HRIS Platform is rapidly evolving to meet the needs of the business. We’re setting out to build the next version of the platform that can handle ever-increasing scale with reliability at five 9s, all with blazing fast speed.

  • Drive our push towards an event-based architecture
