Ambitious engineering.
They say a startup fails when it doesn't focus on a single product. But they don’t know us. Our engineering organization is building multiple products in parallel, which seamlessly interoperate as a single system.

How we build products
Build on a system of record
The central insight behind Rippling is that employee data is way more distributed than most people realize. That disconnectedness is the root cause of countless administrative problems. We’ve created a unified data model that combines employee data, as well as data from other business applications. We call this Rippling’s Employee Graph. Everything we build sits on top of it.
Scale with middleware
Directly above the Employee Graph is Rippling’s middleware. It’s a powerful set of core capabilities, including workflow automation, analytics, permissions, and policies. These components sit inside every product we build, and their functionality can be reconfigured to address a wide array of problems. With this foundation in place, we skip building the most primitive parts of each product over and over.
Get the data model right
Since we’re not building from scratch, our engineers can focus on the most interesting—and challenging—parts of their particular product. They spend their time understanding the business processes, decision-making, and workflows specific to what they’re building and determining which abstractions are right for supporting its most complex use cases. That allows us to ship better products faster.

How we build culture
Rippling sets up engineers to embrace collaboration and challenge the status quo.
01
Ownership
Your product is your company. You’ll need to learn the code and the business.
02
Communication
We keep meetings small and short.
Writing precisely in email and chat is key.
03
Leadership
Coding and leadership go hand-in-hand. A team's manager could be its best engineer.
Long commute to work? Give us a listen.
Here's your homework
Engineers like to do their research, so we put together a syllabus.
Beyond the codebase
Building great products is a huge part of Rippling, but there’s more to learn.
