Software Engineer, Big Data - Apple Services Engineering

Rippling

<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">About Rippling</h2>
Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. For the first time ever, you can manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system. 
Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can hire a new employee anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365&mdash;all within 90 seconds. 
Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.4B+ from the world&rsquo;s top investors&mdash;including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock&mdash;and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes. 
We prioritize candidate safety. Please be aware that all official communication will only be sent from @Rippling.com addresses.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader"> 
About the Data Cloud Team</h2>
Rippling Data Cloud is a new suite of products that aggregates data from across your company into Rippling, connects it to worker identity, and makes it available for analysis, visualization and action. It preserves and enriches data context to enable precise and accurate answers to your most important and nuanced business questions. 
It's a complete data stack including data connectors, transformations, visualizations, AI-powered analytics, and even inbound Zero-Copy. It understands how all of that data relates to employees, managers, departments, locations, cost centers, permissions, and historical changes in your ever-changing business. That makes it possible to ask questions that traditional BI systems struggle to answer correctly.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Data Cloud as the foundation for Rippling AI</h2>
Data Cloud and AI are deeply connected in Rippling. Data Cloud is the data infrastructure layer that powers Rippling AI. Here's how they relate: 
Data Cloud provides the unified data that AI reasons over: 
Rippling AI leverages the Employee Graph and all platform data (payroll rules, earnings types, deduction logic, permissions, etc.) as its source of truthBecause Rippling is a unified platform rather than stitched-together acquisitions, the data is clean, consistent, and complete which makes AI answers accurate and context-awareAI respects the same permissions model as the rest of the platform, so it only surfaces data the user is authorized to see 
The Rippling AI unlocks advanced Data Cloud capabilities:<ul><li>
AI Dashboards: build dashboards from scratch using natural language prompts</li><li>
Transformations: full publish access</li><li>
Pipelines: ingest data via managed connectors</li><li>
Lineage &amp; Catalog: explore data lineage for reports</li><li>
Advanced features: parameters, SQL queries, and the ability to incorporate third-party data</li></ul> 
Why this matters
Most HR/Finance systems weren't built for AI. Their data is messy and fragmented. Rippling AI is described as the first &quot;context-aware, senior analyst&quot; for HR and Finance teams because it sits on top of a unified data model (Data Cloud + Employee Graph) that actually understands your business logic end-to-end.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What We Build</h2>
The team is focused on the following core domains:<ul><li>
Analytics &ndash; Focuses on the reporting and dashboarding products that enable users to visualize and analyze data within Rippling.</li><li>
Data Access &ndash; Owns the query engine (RQL, Rippling Query Language) that powers data retrieval across the platform. This area includes sub-teams responsible for query execution, data ingestion, and query history.</li><li>
Data Management &ndash; Owns the metadata and data catalog layer, including how data assets are discovered, governed, and documented.</li><li>
Ingest &amp; Prep &ndash; Responsible for bringing external data into Rippling. This area includes Managed Connectors (pre-built integrations with third-party systems) and Transformations (data shaping and preparation).</li><li>
Insights &ndash; A newer area within Data Cloud focused on surfacing actionable insights from data.</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What you will do</h2><ul><li>
Develop and improve both product backend capabilities and user-facing features, working across the stack to make them shine</li><li>
Collaborate closely with PMs and designers to translate complex product requirements and visual designs into responsive, high-quality code.</li><li>
Move quickly and confidently, making smart decisions to fill in the gaps where product details aren&rsquo;t fully defined&mdash;always learning from user feedback.</li><li>
Play an active role in building a culture of excellence within our product and engineering teams.</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What you will need</h2><ul><li>
5+ years of experience in a production environment using Python, Django, or related technologies.</li><li>
Familiarity in frontend development with React or typescript.</li><li>
Exposure and hands on experience with systems operating at a significant technical and organizational scale</li><li>
Strong product intuition: you care about design and user experience and are quick to identify how these could be improved.</li><li>
Experience shipping complex projects</li><li>

Senior Software Engineer, Backend Full Stack - Data Cloud

Stealth AI startup

<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">The Opportunity</h2>
We are a seed-stage AI startup, currently in stealth, backed by top-tier VCs. We are hiring for a founding engineer for the role of a Product Architect (Sr PE/PE level). This is a rare kind of role. You will own major parts of the platform from early stages, and play a part in building out the company itself: how we build, how we work together, and what we value as an organization. We are building a high-trust, high-standards team of exceptional builders who want to move fast, go deep, own outcomes, invent better ways to create unmistakable customer value and ultimately drive business and personal success.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What We're Building</h2>
Our north star is to help companies of all sizes build, deploy and manage AI applications in a seamless, efficient and cost-effective way. We believe that more and more enterprises and AI startups will build their own application-specific AI models in order to own major portions of their application stack, build on their IP position and optimize for performance and costs. For these companies, models, weights, and data are becoming the strategic moat. But moving from experimentation to production remains slow and messy: fragmented tooling, mounting infrastructure complexity, and significant engineering time lost to security, access, and compliance work instead of innovation.
Our core value proposition is simple. We help product and engineering teams move faster with building and integrating AI models into their applications, with high confidence and trust. The platform is designed to be deployed in a customer&rsquo;s existing environments, ranging from public clouds, on-prem, and hybrid environments. We will share the full picture, including our product, early traction, and roadmap, in our first conversation.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Why This Role Is Different</h2>
You are building the thing, not inheriting it. As a founding engineer, you will make the architectural decisions everything else gets built on: the core platform, the technology stack, and the engineering culture. There is no legacy codebase and no committee.
The equity is real. The pace of progress in AI has created a once-in-a-lifetime window, and where you spend the next few years matters more than it ever has. You can spend them at a big tech where you are a line item in a headcount plan, doing your best work under the constant pressure of the next layoff cycle while someone else captures the upside. Or you can spend them as a founding engineer with meaningful equity in what you build.
You will work directly with a founder who has done this at scale. Our CEO has nearly two decades of experience building and scaling AI infrastructure businesses. He scaled a business from about $100M into a multi-billion-dollar segment at a leading cloud provider, and served as Chief Product Officer of a company he helped take public, now valued at over $50B. He leads by example, stays hands-on, and invests heavily in developing people and helping them do the best work of their careers.
The timing is now. Enterprise AI is crossing from experimentation into production right now, and the infrastructure layer underneath it is being decided. The companies that define that layer will be built in the next few years, by small teams that move fast.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What You'll Do</h2>
This is a hands-on building role. You will report to the CEO and collaborate closely with our founding Product Architect on the product platform. We expect roughly 80% of your time on product development, with the rest split between product research and direct customer support.<ul><li>
Design, build, test, and operate production-grade features and services.</li><li>
Build and run systems that deploy across public cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments.</li><li>
Contribute to architecture and technical decisions, partnering with the Product Architects on the bets that shape the platform.</li><li>
Take part in product research: prototyping new approaches and evaluating emerging tools and techniques.</li><li>
Work directly with early customers to turn real-world requirements into working capabilities and to support them in production.</li><li>
Use AI-driven development workflows (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent) as a daily multiplier on velocity and quality.</li><li>
Help set the bar for engineering quality and craft as the team grows.</li></ul><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
What We're Looking For</h3>
We are hiring across Senior (L5 equivalent) and Staff (L6 equivalent) levels. The work is the same. The difference is depth of experience and the scope of the systems you have built and owned.<ul><li>
5+ years of hands-on engineering experience building and shipping production software, with a track record of maintaining it in production.</li><li>
Experience building distributed systems, backend services, or infrastructure platforms with an eye for reliability and performance.</li><li>
Working knowledge of cloud-native technologies: Kubernetes, containerized workloads, service-oriented architectures, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar) across AWS, Azure, or GCP.</li><li>
Strong systems fundamentals: API design, backend architecture, performance, and reliability.</li><li>
Strong programming proficiency in Rust or C++, with experience writing performant production grade code.</li><li>
High ownership and bias for action in 0-to-1 environments. You are comfortable making pragmatic trade-offs, operating with incomplete information, and driving work from idea through launch.</li><li>
Excellent communication. You can work directly with customers, discuss trade-offs on the merits, and collaborate closely with a small team.</li></ul><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
Strong Pluses</h3><ul><li>
Experience building customer-facing, large-scale distributed systems and applications: production software that real users and enterprises depend on.</li><li>
Experience building and deploying solutions across multi-cloud and on-prem environments.</li><li>
Experience with AI/ML infrastructure, including training, inference, or the platforms and pipelines around them.</li><li>
Familiarity with security domains such as identity, access control, key management, or trusted computing.</li><li>
Prior startup or early-stage experience, or a big-company background and strong conviction that it is time for something different.</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What We Offer</h2><ul><li>
Founding-team equity with meaningful upside.</li><li>
Competitive cash compensation, calibrated for seed stage.</li><li>
A direct hand in defining the product, the architecture, and the culture.</li><li>
Opportunity to be part of a fast-paced environment that values distinctive expertise, emphasizes ownership along with high standards, and fosters open-minded collaboration with exceptional builders.</li><li>
A founder committed to your growth, and a front-row seat to building a company.</li></ul></div>

Data Engineer III

Second Order Effects

<div>Company Overview:

Second Order Effects started in 2016 as a services firm, taking on other companies' hardest engineering problems from first principles. We grew into a solutions firm that designs and ships complete custom electronics and systems, including power electronics, RF, and control systems. We've completed over 250 projects for more than 100 clients. Our designs control rocket engines, manage satellite communications, instrument fusion reactors, and are enjoyed by consumers around the world.

We approach problems from first principles. We break challenges down to their most fundamental components, which is how we find solutions that hold up across industries, use cases, and engineering functions. We focus on solving the right problems and building the teams to take them on. Because we believe that training and empowering others yields a greater impact than focusing on developing any specific technology, we expect every single member of our team to participate in building up those around them.

In the past year, we've started taking our own concepts and spinning them out into separate companies that we believe will meet the emerging needs of our clients and the industry at large. The work is concentrating in frontier technology, including space, fusion and fission energy, and advanced vehicles. We currently have two spinout companies in stealth that we're working on.
