About the role
Rippling is building a platform allowing developers to build custom applications that run on Rippling, connect those applications to custom data, and deploy agents that do work using that data for our customers. What makes the platform special is the Object Graph, which connects all of a company’s data in one place, and core business primitives like Documents, Supergroups, and Workflows, which allow developers to create business applications that work across a company's data.
