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—all within 90 seconds.
Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.4B+ from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock—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.
About the role
The Rippling Developer Platform team is responsible for the products and frameworks that power the integration of HR, IT, Finance, and third-party applications into one unified system. The team owns the foundational building blocks – analytics, workflow automation, permissions, our unified data platform – that every Rippling product is built on.
We're treating the internal developer toolchain as a product, and we’re hiring someone to own it.
Your customers are Rippling's engineers. Hundreds of them, growing weekly, building across every surface of the product. AI coding tools are already transforming how they work. We're packaging them into coherent agentic workflows – inner and outer loops – alongside the dozens of libraries, services, and platform building blocks that are the substrate of Rippling. The goal: make the Developer Platform a force multiplier, improving developer productivity by 2-3x.
This isn't a research role or a strategy role. We'll experiment, but the point is practical impact. Success is measured in developer velocity. You'll help define what that means and how we track it. You're not starting from scratch – Rippling engineers are already building agentic workflows. Your job is to turn that momentum into a product.
What you will do
- Own the vision and roadmap for Rippling's internal developer toolchain – AI agents, platform primitives, libraries, services, docs
- Work directly with SDEs to identify where DX breaks down and where investment has the highest leverage
- Drive adoption of platform building blocks by making them easier to discover, understand, and use
- Design how agentic coding fits into the Rippling development loop – from scaffolding to review to deployment to verification in production
- Define the metrics that measure developer velocity, and hold the product accountable to improving them
What you will need
- 8+ years of combined product and/or engineering experience
- Former SDE – not "technical background." You wrote production code, and you know what bad DX feels like from the inside.
- Actively codes – you use AI coding tools today and have strong opinions on them.
- Taste – you know the difference between DX that works and DX that demos well.
- Deep in the AI space – you're tracking how agentic coding is evolving and you have a point of view on where it's going.
- Understands the business case – you can connect DX improvements to developer throughput, hiring leverage, and scale.
- Experience owning platform or developer-facing products.
- Strong alignment with Rippling's leadership principles, particularly "Go and See," "Push Limits," "Are Right, a Lot," and "Change Minds Quickly, But Go."

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Developer Experience Jobs
Verify your role qualifies as a specialty occupation
Developer Experience roles span documentation engineering, SDK tooling, and API design. Pull the O*NET profile for your exact job code to confirm the position requires a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a directly related field before your employer files.
Frame your portfolio around technical depth
Developer Experience is sometimes misread as a support function. Compile work samples showing you own engineering decisions: SDKs you shipped, CLI tools you architected, or developer feedback loops you instrumented. This documentation supports the specialty occupation argument in your employer's LCA filing.
Search for H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship using Migrate Mate
Filter your job search by H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship history on Migrate Mate so you target companies that have already filed for Singaporean nationals, cutting outreach to employers unfamiliar with the visa's consulate-based process.
Target employers already enrolled in E-Verify
H-1B1 visa petitions don't require E-Verify enrollment, but companies already using it have HR teams comfortable with work-authorization verification. These employers move faster through the LCA and offer-letter stages without needing to educate their legal team on the process.
Confirm prevailing wage tier before accepting an offer
Your employer must certify your salary meets the DOL prevailing wage for your job code and work location. Run your title and metro area through the OFLC Wage Search before signing so you can flag any gap in the offer before the LCA is submitted.
Prepare for annual H-1B1 renewals from day one
Unlike H-1B, the H-1B1 Singapore is granted in one-year increments with no path to a multi-year extension. Confirm with your employer before accepting that their HR team will file renewal paperwork at least 60 days before your status expires each year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Developer Experience role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, if the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field such as computer science, software engineering, or information systems. Developer Experience roles that involve building SDKs, maintaining developer tooling, or designing API documentation typically meet this standard. Roles framed primarily as community management or marketing without a technical degree requirement may not qualify, so your employer's LCA filing should reflect the engineering scope of the job.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa differ from H-1B for Developer Experience professionals?
The H-1B1 Singapore visa skips the H-1B lottery entirely, which means Singaporean professionals in Developer Experience roles can pursue a U.S. position any time of year rather than waiting for an April registration window. The annual cap is 5,400 visas and has never been reached. The trade-off is that H-1B1 is issued in one-year increments rather than the initial three years common with H-1B, so renewal planning becomes part of your annual employment cycle.
How do I find employers that sponsor Developer Experience roles on the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Use Migrate Mate to filter for companies with H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship history in software and developer tools. Because H-1B1 filings are consulate-based rather than USCIS-petitioned, not all employers are familiar with the process. Prioritizing companies that have sponsored Singaporean nationals before reduces the back-and-forth of explaining the visa to HR teams encountering it for the first time.
What does the H-1B1 Singapore application process look like for a Developer Experience hire?
Your employer files a Labor Condition Application with DOL, certifying your role meets prevailing wage requirements for your job code and location. Once the LCA is certified, you apply directly at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore rather than going through USCIS. You'll present the certified LCA, a job offer letter, your degree credentials, and evidence that your role is a specialty occupation. There is no I-129 petition filed with USCIS, which removes several weeks from the typical H-1B sponsorship timeline.
Can I change employers on an H-1B1 Singapore visa if I find a better Developer Experience opportunity?
You can change employers, but H-1B1 does not carry H-1B portability protections. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA and you must obtain a new H-1B1 visa stamp before starting work, which means timing your transition around your visa renewal cycle. Avoid accepting a new role while your current H-1B1 is mid-year without confirming your new employer's LCA can be certified and the consular appointment secured before your current status expires.
