About The Role

The Custom Apps team is on a mission to transform Rippling from a product suite into a true platform. We build the tools that empower our customers and third-party developers to create their own applications on top of Rippling's unified employee data model.

We're a growing, global team of eight engineers who value collaboration, a high-quality bar, and a low-ego, "ship it" culture. We are building App Studio, a powerful no-code/low-code product built on Rippling's unique data infrastructure, that is foundational to our long-term vision of an app marketplace.

As a Software Engineer on this team, you will be a key contributor to a new and highly strategic area of Rippling. You'll have a massive impact on the product and technical direction, helping to shape the very foundation of our developer platform.

What You Will Do

  • Become an expert in the existing App Studio system at Rippling, and leverage that expertise both to support existing use-cases and to continue building out App Studio for new and existing use-cases alike.
  • Partner with your engineering peers to shape the future of our App Studio platform, from architectural design to final implementation.
  • Design, build, and maintain robust and scalable backend services and APIs.
  • Lay the groundwork for our long-term vision of a developer marketplace by building foundational, extensible systems ready for future scale.
  • Work primarily on the backend (approximately 90% of the time) but be willing to dive into our TypeScript/React frontend to support features end-to-end when needed.
  • Uphold our high standards for quality and collaboration through thoughtful code reviews, system design discussions, and a commitment to shipping well-crafted products.
  • Contribute to a collaborative, low-ego team culture where we are all motivated to do our best work.

Qualifications

  • Have 2+ years of professional experience in software development, with a focus on building backend systems for product-driven applications.
  • Have professional experience with Python and a modern web framework (like Django or Flask), OR a strong proficiency in another backend language and an interest in learning our stack.
  • Experience designing schemas and working with relational databases.
  • Possess a strong sense of product ownership and a deep passion for building exceptional customer experiences.
  • Excited to work in a collaborative, high-growth environment and interact with teams across Rippling to solve complex problems.
  • Exhibit a bias for action and the ability to make pragmatic decisions and understand technical tradeoffs in a fast-paced environment.
