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.
