About Rippling

Rippling is the first way for businesses to manage all of their HR & IT—payroll, benefits, computers, apps, and more—in one unified workforce platform.

By connecting every business system to one source of truth for employee data, businesses can automate all of the manual work they normally need to do to make employee changes. Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can just click a button and set up a new employees’ payroll, health insurance, work computer, and third-party apps—like Slack, Zoom, and Office 365—all within 90 seconds.

Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.2B from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Bedrock, and Greenoaks—and was named one of America’s best startup employers by Forbes (#12 out of 500).

About The Role

Rippling is the system of record for employee data - a complete Employee Management System. To solve this broad problem, a variety of applications and datasets need to come together as a graph connected through the employee record at its center.

Work on distributed processing engines and distributed databases.
Create data platforms, data lakes, and data ingestion systems that work at scale.
Write core libraries (in python and golang) to interact with various internal data stores.
Define and support internal SLAs for common data infrastructure
Design, develop, code, and test software systems, improvements, products and user-facing experiences
Leverage big data technologies like Postgres, Kafka, Presto, Pinot, Flink, Airflow, Mongo, Redis and Spark.
Explore new and upcoming data technologies to support Rippling’s exponential growth

Qualifications:

7+ years of professional work experience.
