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 $700M from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, and Bedrock—and was named one of America’s best startup employers by Forbes (#12 out of 500).

About the Role

Rippling is so much more than just “a payroll company,” but there’s no denying payroll is the beating heart of our business – it’s often the first product our customers sign up for, and it’s a big part of why they stick with us. A payroll system involves enormously complicated workflows and ever-changing business rules.

The Filing Factory is a newly formed team developing a platform for non-technical domain experts to fully customize the complex payroll process for our fast-growing customer base. The team's main tech stack is Golang, Python, Postgres, and MongoDB.

Interesting problems the team is working on

A DSL (domain-specific language) that can access every piece of data managed by the system; Non-technical people can use the DSL to write expressions to compute the value for each box in a form.
Building a system to accurately compute and schedule payments to move billions of dollars per month.
Building a highly available infra to sync complex data between systems in near real-time.

We care about moving fast and continually deploying code but also about laying the proper infrastructure that enables us to do that safely and confidently. We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to join us in our journey to build the next generation of our most mission-critical payroll systems. You’ll play a key role in designing the architecture of the financial system that moves billions of dollars and shapes a rapidly-expanding team's technical processes and culture.
