Software Engineer I

Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. For the first time ever, you can manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.

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 $1.8B+ 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.

• Engineer foundational data experiences, including configurable grids, advanced filtering and sorting, bulk actions, reconciliation workflows, and rich transaction line items.
• Build secure, auditable controls such as permissions, policies, approvals, delegation, and rule-engine capabilities that work consistently across Finance products.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering teams to simplify complex financial workflows into intuitive experiences for employees and finance administrators.
• Contribute to AI-powered experiences that help customers understand their financial data, complete tasks, and operate more efficiently across the Finance Suite.

What You Will Have

• 1-2 years experience working with fast growing, top tier product companies
• Strong coding in one or more programming languages such as Java, Python, C++, or Go.
• Expert understanding of data structures, algorithms, software design principles and low level design
• Ability to communicate clearly and work effectively in a collaborative environment
• Understanding of system design and complex distributed systems
• Eagerness to learn new technologies and apply them to solve real-world problems.
