Staff Full Stack Software Engineer (Backend) - Transition & Termination

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.

• Rethink and scale existing products for massive enterprise customers - identify product and technical gaps and deliver an opinionated redesigned approach.
• Build net-new, multi-modal workflows—including chat-driven, "digest-based" UIs—allowing bulk enterprise transitions to be managed efficiently using AI.
• Develop customer-facing products on top of a core temporality engine, creating conflict detection and intuitive UX for concurrent employee changes, such as mass compensation reviews.
• Partner tightly with Design, Sales, TAMs, Support, Product, and the HRIS Platform team to continuously iterate on prototypes and drive product direction.
• Establish a strict "definition of done" and enforce automated quality guardrails to systematically reduce regressions, operational effort, and support tickets.

• →Extensive experience shipping complex, full-stack, customer-facing products.
• →A highly product-minded approach rather than pure backend distributed systems architecture, coupled with deep customer empathy.
• →The ability to break down massive product visions into iterative, shippable milestones and clearly justify your technical and product decisions.
• →Proactive problem-solving skills with the ability to "steelman and strawman" decisions and build robust prognoses backed by evidence.
• →Strong leadership and cross-functional communication abilities to mentor your team, manage across departments, and hold partners accountable.
