Founding Staff Software Engineer - Stealth Product

About The Role

The Scheduling team and product is one of the critical areas we’re building out which will support many of the multi-thousand employee companies on our platform in the future, which will enable the intelligent scheduling of hourly and part-time workers. As you might imagine, this is an NP-hard computer science problem at scale, so this team will be taking on both full-stack product development and complex algorithmic challenges.

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.

You'll also 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.

What You'll Do

• You'll architect and build our brand new scheduling product. 
• Develop high quality software with attention to detail
• Ship incrementally and continually at high velocity
• Have exposure to the sales teams to prioritize what can improve our revenue
• Interact with customers and support them in being successful with Rippling

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional work experience using Python, Django, MongoDB, React, AWS
• 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
