Senior Staff Software Engineer - Infrastructure

Rippling

About The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Staff Engineer to lead a number of interesting and challenging projects inside our Infrastructure Organization, which is a part of the larger Platform Engineering Organization. We are ramping up on building infrastructure-heavy customer-facing features and driving change in the way we serve internal customers by focusing our efforts more on delivering internal self-serve platforms and less on working as a “service desk”.

Getting these major changes right is critical for us to scale into new markets and segments through 2025, and to keep driving more efficiency while freeing our product engineering teams to rapidly deliver customer innovation.

What You Will Do

  • Develop high-quality software with attention to detail.
  • Ship incrementally and continually at high velocity.
  • Jump into different and new codebases and diagnose issues and problems quickly.
  • Build systems that scale for a large variety of use cases.
  • Tackle large scaling challenges that involve scaling our capabilities to support 100,000+ employee companies.
  • Work cross-functionally with engineering leaders across the engineering org to plan and execute optimally in the face of high ambiguity.
  • Define the architecture of distributed systems solutions, taking into account the appropriate trade-offs.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years in technical lead or architect roles.
  • Experience building large-scale distributed systems, such as high-volume SaaS environments.
  • Preferred experience in building out large-scale product infrastructures/platforms.
  • Preferred experience in our technology stack: Python, Django, Golang, React, MongoDB, Presto, Pinot, Kafka, AWS.
  • Ability to thrive in an ambiguous environment by identifying areas of impact and independently pursuing them.
  • A track record of influencing and enabling forward-thinking technology decisions across a wide organization.
  • Excellent ability to communicate complex technical ideas with clarity and precision in written and verbal modes.
