Bengaluru, Karnataka, India Rippling Full time

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, Bedrock, and Greenoaks—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes (#12 out of 500). Since day one, our Bangalore site has been a critical part of our R&D org, driving the build-out of many of our critical products (ex: Payroll, Global ExPEO, EOR, Billing, etc.) In addition to Product teams across Finance, HR and IT, we have multiple infra, front end and mobile and platform teams. We are looking to grow our 250+ R&D team in BLR with multiple highly empowered, best-in-class, Principal level engineering talent across platform and product roles.
