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.

We prioritize candidate safety. Please be aware that all official communication will only be sent from @Rippling.com addresses.

About the role

The Employer of Record (EOR) team at Rippling is at the forefront of our mission to expand into new countries and enable businesses worldwide to operate seamlessly. This team builds the critical products and platforms that power our global expansion efforts.

Our work directly impacts essential user flows, including:

• Ensuring timely and accurate payroll for customers.
• Guaranteeing compliance with local and international policies.
• Driving the deposit calculation and collection engine.

Rippling's vision is to expand into hundreds of countries in the coming years. As a Senior Software Engineer on the EOR team, you'll be tasked with designing and building scalable, extensible solutions to support this rapid growth. This means solving complex engineering challenges and crafting generic, high-quality systems that maintain agility without compromising on scalability or performance.

If you're a product-focused engineer with a passion for creating user-facing products that make a global impact and love solving low level design problems, we'd love to have you on our team!

What You'll Do

• Serve as a senior engineer within the Global Expansion organization, driving technical excellence and innovation.
• Maintain a high engineering standard by participating in technical discussions, reviewing specifications, and providing constructive feedback and recommendations.
• Contribute to the end-to-end development and delivery of high-impact, high-quality products.
• Propose, lead, and implement technical initiatives that align with industry best practices in areas such as code quality, observability, and testing. For example, you may lead a weekly meeting focused on improving the health and performance of our services.
• Apply sound technical judgment, leveraging your depth of experience to make informed decisions and guide the team.
• Take ambiguous technical problems and transform them into clear, actionable plans, executing them collaboratively with the team.
• Define and drive the team's technical vision, ensuring alignment with broader organizational goals.
• Mentor and support junior engineers, fostering a culture of growth, continuous learning, and excellence.

What you will need

• 4+ years of professional experience as a software engineer
• Bachelors degree in computer science or a related STEM field
• Experience building customer facing products
• You have seen systems operating at significant technical and organizational scale
• Experience working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• Experience in building projects with good abstractions and architecture
• Comfortable at developing scalable and extendable core services used in many products
