Job description
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 $1.4B+ 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.

The HR Product Engineering team is the foundational layer of Rippling's unified workforce management system. Our mission is to build seamless, global, and compliant systems that power the entire employee lifecycle, from hire to retire.

The team is composed of high-impact squads focused on four core domains:
- HRIS (Human Resources Information System): Building the core employee record, organizational structure, and workflows that serve as the single source of truth for all other Rippling products.
- Time: Developing accurate, scalable, and globally compliant Time & Attendance systems, including clocking, time-off accrual, and scheduling, ensuring employees are paid correctly and legally.
- Benefits: Creating and maintaining the marketplace and administration tools for health, retirement, and other employee benefits, handling complex enrollment, eligibility, and provider integrations.
- Talent: Designing products that manage employee growth, performance, and learning, helping companies develop and retain their workforce effectively.
- Develop and improve both product backend capabilities and user-facing features, working across the stack to make them shine
- Collaborate closely with PMs and designers to translate complex product requirements and visual designs into responsive, high-quality code.
- Move quickly and confidently, making smart decisions to fill in the gaps where product details aren’t fully defined—always learning from user feedback.
- Play an active role in building a culture of excellence within our product and engineering teams.
- 5+ years of experience in a production environment using Python, Django, or related technologies.
- Familiarity in frontend development with React or typescript.
- Exposure and hands on experience with systems operating at a significant technical and organizational scale
- Strong product intuition: you care about design and user experience and are quick to identify how these could be improved.
- Experience shipping complex projects
- Deep understanding of CS/algorithms fundamentals
- Strong communication skills with a variety of stakeholders
