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.

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

About the role:

The Device Management org helps our customer scale their entire device operations easily, from managing software installation, updates and upgrades, all while maintaining the highest standards of security and reliability. What would take our users days (or weeks) can now be done within minutes, across an ever increasing scale of fleets.

You’ll be building at the crux of multiple disciplines (think AI, Distributed System, and IOT), reaching scales on the order of millions of devices around the globe. The product area is one of the fastest-growing within Rippling with opportunities to directly affect the bottom line.

A critical part of DM is the agent stack, responsible for operations happening on the device, and the realtime components that allow Rippling to directly communicate with their fleet. In other words, these are the technical pieces that make our user experience feel magical. You will be the Tech Lead that builds and evolves this very stack.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Influence, own and deliver roadmap spanning multiple years
  • Design and build systems that power all of Rippling customers’ IT fleet
  • Collaborate across the IT org and beyond to identify points of technical leverage
  • Invest and grow multiple engineers
  • Partner with stakeholders to identify the right opportunities and make pragmatic tradeoffs.

About you:

  • You have at least 7 years of industry experience and are on a growth trajectory
  • You have built and operated large-scale systems
  • You are an owner: you can drive projects independently, and are obsessed about our customers’ needs
  • You have led mid-sized teams and have proven to transform individuals around you
  • Prior experience in Device Management is a plus.
