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 $1.4B+ 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

The Rippling Platform team is responsible for the products and frameworks that showcase the value of seamlessly integrating HR, IT, Finance, and third-party applications together into one unified platform. The team owns the foundational building blocks – like reporting, workflow automation, permissions, approvals, policies, search, notifications, and a unified data platform – that are leveraged across Rippling products. They also own end-user-facing products that leverage the unified data from these otherwise-fragmented business applications.

As a Product Lead, you’ll define what to build in order to solve customer problems in a way that allows us to succeed as a business.  We do this by distilling insights from key stakeholders across the company, user research, product-generated data, and competitive analysis.  These insights allow us to prioritize the features that we work on, which we define end to end with our design and engineering counterparts, to create a product roadmap.  As the features on this roadmap get developed, we partner with the appropriate teams to make sure that they are properly launched and are set up to be successfully sold, serviced, and supported.  We iterate on these features using data and customer feedback to make sure that they fulfill and exceed the original product goals.
