Senior Backend Engineer - HRIS Company Team

About Rippling

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 $1.2B 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 official communication will only be sent from @Rippling.com addresses.

About The Role

Join the HRIS Company Team at Rippling and play a crucial role within our engineering organization! As a fast growing SaaS company, Rippling onboards thousands of businesses annually. And yet there are gaps in our buying and onboarding experience:

• New company onboarding this is a complex, manual and error-prone process that frustrates our customers and Rippling implementation teams alike
• Interested companies can only purchase Rippling as a whole, instead of having flexibility to pick and choose apps 
• There is no way to try the product before buying or to self-signup

The mission of the HRIS Company Team is to massively accelerate Rippling’s growth through product experience. The team will:

• Offer customers flexibility in buying Rippling platform apps - whether a la carte or en masse
• Provide easy upgrade paths and effective ways to experience our products. 
• Make onboarding experience fast, efficient and error-free - for both new customers and Rippling operations

As an engineer on the team, you might work on these problems:

• Build self-serve SaaS product trial and sign-up flows
• Revamp company and product onboarding workflows to reduce manual steps and simplify data import. 
• Build a near-real time data sync system for maintaining view into a third party HCM system. 

What You'll Do

• Develop and improve user-facing features, working across the stack to make them shine
• Collaborate closely with PMs, designers, and other experts to figure out the best way to bring features to life.
• 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.

What You'll Need

• 5+ years of experience in a production environment using Python, Django, or related technologies. 
• You have seen 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
