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, and Bedrock, and Greenoaks—and was named one of America’s best startup employers by Forbes (#12 out of 500).
About the role
Rippling's special sauce is its ability to automatically react and understand changes and connections across many systems.
Rippling developed Unity, a major platform that connects systems traditionally reliant on bespoke integrations or, in worse cases, spreadsheets.
These systems encompass payroll, device management, and others.
The next phase of Unity focuses on universal objects, where all objects—customer-defined data, first-party developer data, or third-party developer data—should attain the status of first-class citizens.
This parallels the creation of a new type of database.
Additionally, enabling next-generation product development.
If you find solving these types of problems at scale exhilarating, this role is highly likely to be a perfect fit for you.
As part of this role, you will build fundamental components that empower engineers to develop software with step function-inducing capabilities.
Your work will bring about transformative changes in software development practices at Rippling.
What you will do
Constructing a unified query layer for accessing data across multiple storage layers.
Designing algorithms to optimize specific data access patterns.
Creating a domain-specific language that allows engineers to interact with these foundational elements.
Establishing a generic data persistence layer that spans across Rippling's entire technology stack (similar to building GCP Firebase).
Developing fundamental abstractions/frameworks that enable engineers to create OLAP or OLTP-oriented applications.
