Senior Engineering Manager - HRIS Company Team

About Rippling

Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. For the first time ever, you can manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.

Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can hire a new employee anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 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, Greenoaks, and Bedrock—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes.

About The Role

As a fast growing workforce management company, Rippling onboards thousands of businesses annually. Crucially, the growth is currently impeded in two major ways:

1. Onboarding this is a complex, labor intensive process that includes historical employee data import and app access setup. 
2. Interested companies can only purchase Rippling as a whole, instead of having flexibility to pick and choose which of the 35+ apps to buy first, second, etc.

The mission of the Company team is to accelerate Rippling’s growth by:

• Making onboarding process fast, efficient and error-free - for both new customers and Rippling operations
• Offer customers flexibility in buying Rippling platform apps - whether a la carte or en masse, providing easy upgrade paths.
