    Job description

    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 $1.85B+ 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.

    We prioritize candidate safety. Please be aware that all official communication will only be sent from @Rippling.com addresses.

    About the Team

    Rippling's Tax Platform is one of only ~5 companies globally that owns the full tax calculation and filing stack. We process over $30 billion in annual payroll for 1 million+ employees—growing 50% year-over-year. Our systems handle millions of payroll transactions across multiple countries, ensuring tax correctness across 4,000+ jurisdictions while staying compliant with constantly changing tax regulations.

    We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who takes ownership of complex problems, designs robust systems, and delivers high-quality solutions that directly impact millions of tax calculations.

    What You Will Do

    • System Design: Architect scalable, reliable systems that handle billions of dollars in tax calculations with zero tolerance for error
    • Ownership & Impact: Own features end-to-end—from design through production—with direct visibility into business outcomes
    • Engineering Excellence: Set the bar for code quality, testing practices, and technical documentation within your team
    • Reliability & Correctness: Build systems where accuracy is non-negotiable; a single bug can mean compliance failures across thousands of companies
    • Global Scale: Solve challenges unique to processing millions of payroll transactions across multiple countries with 4,000+ jurisdictions and evolving regulations
    • Collaboration: Partner with compliance, product, and platform teams to translate complex tax requirements into elegant technical solutions

    What You Will Have

    • 5+ years of software engineering experience
    • Strong system design skills with experience building distributed, high-reliability systems
    • Proficiency in Python; experience with Django or similar frameworks that follow the MVC pattern (layered architecture).
    • Track record of owning and delivering impactful projects autonomously
    • Rigorous approach to correctness—you write tests, handle edge cases, and think about failure modes
    • Ability to navigate ambiguity and drive clarity in complex problem spaces
    • Clear communication and ability to influence technical decisions

    Nice to Have

    • Experience in fintech, payroll, or tax domains
    • Background in compliance-critical systems where correctness is paramount
    • Experience with domain-specific languages or rule engines
    • Familiarity with MongoDB, Temporal, or event-driven architectures
