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 $1.2B 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 (#12 out of 500).

About the role

The Platform team builds both the product and technology foundations of Rippling. We’re responsible for the data platform, core service framework, permissions, analytics & reporting, customizable workflows, custom fields, and any other core technologies needed to write backend code at Rippling.

This core foundation allows us to build a whole host of features, one of them being Supergroups. Supergroups is a system that allows Rippling users to create dynamic groups of employees based on a whole suite of attributes, such as department or location. You can then use these groups to apply policies, configurations, and much more both within Rippling as well as third-party applications.

Supergroups is the backbone of Rippling’s seamless experience and is relied upon by multiple product teams within the company. This is a unique opportunity to work on a team that has compounding platform value but also product value as well.
