Socket.dev; Mountain View (CA); On-site; USD 105,000 - 145,000; Full time

Job summary

DensityAI builds the AI accelerator silicon powering the next generation of compute. We’re rapidly expanding and seek a People Operations Specialist to be the operational backbone, handling onboarding, HRIS accuracy, and benefits administration.

In this build role, you’ll own Rippling as the system of record, produce regular headcount and cost reports, and manage compliance in-house while coordinating with our PEO. You will scale processes and support payroll inputs for planning.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in People Operations, HR operations, or HRIS administration at a scaling company
• Hands-on HRIS ownership (Rippling, Workday, or similar), including reporting and configuration
• Experience running onboarding and administering benefits, ideally in a PEO / co-employment model
• Working knowledge of US employment-compliance basics, and strong accuracy instincts
• Comfort creating process where none exists, and discretion with confidential data

Responsibilities

• Run end-to-end onboarding at volume: offer logistics, background checks, I-9/E-Verify, IT provisioning handoffs, and a consistent day one
• Own the HRIS (Rippling) as the system of record: data accuracy, org and reporting structure, lifecycle changes, workflows, and permissions
• Produce trustworthy people reporting on a predictable cadence, primarily headcount vs. plan, plus hiring, attrition, and cost
• Administer benefits through our Rippling PEO: enrollments, life events, and open enrollment, coordinating with our PEO account team
• Manage the Rippling PEO relationship and handle the compliance that stays in-house (I-9, postings, state pay-transparency and leave), keeping data clean for the filings the PEO owns (payroll tax, workers' comp, ACA)
• Track work-authorization and immigration status with legal support
• Build the repeatable processes that let People Ops scale, and be a first point of contact for routine employee questions
• Provide payroll inputs (processed via the PEO) and data support to comp and headcount planning
