Requirements
- 2+ years of professional experience as a backend engineer, preferably with Python, Go, or a similar production language, and strong experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL).
Responsibilities

- Work across key technical domains, including API design, data modeling, event modeling, and optimizing service performance.
- Own the development lifecycle for defined features, from implementation and testing to deployment, monitoring, and support in a production environment.
- Effectively integrate into cross-functional teams, contribute to technical discovery, and rapidly learn from code and system feedback.
- Developing the systems for calculating, filing, and processing payroll across multiple countries, including tax logic, compliance, and direct money movement infrastructure.
- We’re building the system that gives companies total visibility and control over every dollar they spend.
- Designing robust, scalable systems to handle complex, rapidly changing tax and regulatory requirements across all jurisdictions.
Other
- Care about business impact, balancing technical craft with speed and the bottom line to deliver value quickly.
- Ability to thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments, demonstrating resilience and agility in the face of changing product needs.

- 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.
