Rippling is a unified platform for HR, IT, and Finance, enabling businesses to manage the entire employee lifecycle in a single system. The company has raised $1.4B+ from top-tier investors including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, and Sequoia, and is headquartered in San Francisco.
The Core Experience team owns how companies and users first encounter Rippling and operate within it daily. This includes building onboarding flows that take companies from zero to running on Rippling, self-serve growth infrastructure for product discovery and purchasing without sales involvement, and foundational surfaces (home dashboard, navigation, user management, company settings) that every Rippling user touches regardless of product.
As a Staff Software Engineer on this team, you will design and build backend systems powering Core Experience's highest-leverage surfaces: onboarding flows, self-serve purchasing, and shared platform primitives that other product teams depend on. You'll operate at the intersection of product surface and platform infrastructure, building reusable components that multiply team output across the organization while scaling systems to handle Rippling's full customer volume.
The role involves architecting foundational systems, mentoring engineers, and ensuring coherent experiences across a complex multi-product environment. You'll work on systems that directly impact how thousands of companies onboard and use Rippling daily, with responsibility for reliability, scalability, and user experience quality.
