Description
About Rippling
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
Rippling is rapidly expanding its Global Payroll product, and France is one of our most complex payroll markets. We’re looking for a payroll-focused Compliance Specialist with strong expertise in French payroll rules, DSN, and social security regulations to support Rippling’s Product Compliance team.
In this role, you will translate French payroll regulations into clear product requirements, validate payroll logic, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of payroll computations as we scale in France. You’ll work closely with a Legal Expert, Product Managers, Engineering, and Payroll Operations to ensure that features are correctly scoped, implemented, and maintained as regulations evolve.
This role is ideal for an experienced French payroll professional who understands the interaction between payroll calculations, DSN flows, and regulatory requirements, and who wants to contribute directly to building a scalable and compliant payroll engine.
Full fluency in French and English (written and verbal) is required.
