About The Role
One of the most exciting things about working about Rippling is that we’re constantly building out new products on top of our platform to better serve our customers. One of our newest product efforts is scheduling: we’re building a best-in-class tool to help companies schedule their employees to meet demand and staff availability, all while staying on top of complex compliance and business requirements. As one of the first engineers on this team, you’ll be responsible for designing the core architecture of the product, as well as helping to figure out what it should be! We care a lot about laying the right infrastructure before building things, but also about moving quickly and continually iterating on product, with a laser focus on what’s most important at any given time.
What You'll Do
- Architect and build our scheduling product.
There are tons of moving pieces that will have to come together for us to launch this product: core abstractions for schedules and capacity planning, an easy-to-use optimization engine that’s powerful enough to handle complex user-specified constraints, integrations with external data sources, and frontend/mobile experiences, to just name a few. You’ll help us design and implement these from the ground up.
- Wear many hats.
Writing and reviewing code goes without saying, but at Rippling engineers do a lot more than just engineering. You’ll quickly become an expert on the product area and spend time talking to users, planning our product roadmap, and working on go-to-market initiatives. As an early member on a new team, you’ll also play a major role in shaping the team’s culture and organization to help us scale.
Qualifications
- 3+ years of professional work experience
- Strong CS/algorithms fundamentals
- Experience building and scaling products and systems from the ground up
- Strong product intuition: you care about design and user experience and are quick to identify how these could be improved.
- Entrepreneurial mindset: you thrive in unstructured environments and enjoy identifying big problems in addition to solving them.
- Prior experience with optimization or operations research a plus
