About Rippling
Staff Architect - Application Infrastructure
About the Role
Rippling is a multi-product compound startup. The product teams build products. The Infra team takes care of all the things that are common. It could be the deployment infrastructure, debugging tools, framework, language runtimes, CI/CD pipelines, pub-sub and database tooling, anything that’s common and generic.
The main codebase is written in python with Django framework and MongoDB as a backend database. About 500 engineers work on this to add product features. We have other languages and a few microservices being built.
We are looking for an experienced technologist who can envision, architect and build our application framework that powers the needs of the products being built. You will solve problems and make decisions related to language runtimes, core library, middlewares, shared components, pub-sub library etc. The architecture and frameworks you build will be used by Rippling engineers.
