Rippling aims to reinvent the global employee benefits industry by building a modern, multi-sided Global Benefits Marketplace to address the outdated, fragmented, and expensive experience of benefits discovery, purchase, and usage.
Requirements
- Deep experience: 10+ years of professional software engineering, with a track record of building large-scale, high-impact platforms.
- Technical mastery: Expertise in distributed systems and services, ideally using Python, Golang, or Java.
- Cloud fluency (bonus): Experience building on AWS or similar cloud platforms.
Responsibilities
- Architect the future: Design a configurable platform that can onboard entirely new benefit types without writing new code—own schemas, validation, pricing logic, and self-serve configuration.
- Think global, build global: Define a unified data model and lead complex migrations (shadowing, dual-writes, safe rollbacks) to deliver a seamless worldwide experience.
- Make customer impact real: Prioritize work that drives adoption, win-rates, and retention—closing feature and integration gaps for SMBs and enterprises alike.
- Supercharge brokers & admins: Build dashboards, alerts, and insights that surface under-used benefits and drive real engagement.
- Be the connector: Align infra, security, compliance, and product stakeholders; communicate tradeoffs clearly; and keep programs on track from kickoff to delivery.
- Innovate & lead: Own architectural decisions, drive full product lifecycle delivery, and set the standard for technical excellence.
- Collaborate & execute: Partner across teams, bring customer feedback into the roadmap, and ship with urgency and impact.
Other
- Ownership mindset: You don’t just write code—you own the problem, the product, and the customer outcome.
- Customer obsession: A passion for product-focused engineering and for solving real, meaningful problems for people.
- Mentor & inspire: Uplift teammates, guide junior engineers, and foster a culture of curiosity, craftsmanship, and bold thinking.
- Rippling highly values having employees working in-office to foster a collaborative work environment and company culture. For office-based employees (employees who live within a defined radius of a Rippling office), Rippling considers working in the office, at least three days a week under current policy, to be an essential function of the employee's role.
- This role will receive a competitive salary + benefits + equity.
