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 $1.2B 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.

Note:

This role requires flexibility across time zones to meet business needs. You will be scheduled to work during one of the following shifts:

• 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM EDT
• 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM PDT

The schedule operates on a rotational shift basis, meaning you must be available to work during either time zone as required by the business.
