Rippling Front End Interview Questions

Latest version on GreatFrontEnd

Find the latest version of this page on GreatFrontEnd's Rippling Front End Interview Guide.

Rippling's "front end" loop is functionally a full-stack loop. Expect a UI/React coding screen, a web-API design round, a LeetCode-style algorithm round, and a system design round. Be ready to spin up a small Node/Express server during the API round.

JavaScript coding questions​

User interface coding questions​

  • Build a job board: fetch and display posts, add a "load more" button, then layer on infinite scroll using IntersectionObserver, throttling on scroll, and deduping of fetched items.
  • Forms and data transformations with React. Practice controlled inputs, validation, and manipulating arrays of records.

System design questions​

  • Design Shutterstock (image marketplace).
  • Web-API round: bring a basic HTTP server (Node/Express or equivalent) and implement CRUD endpoints for a service such as notifications, then discuss broader systems engineering / security / monitoring concerns.

Algorithm​

LeetCode-tagged questions for Rippling appear in their LC company list. The most commonly reported one is Commit/Rollback key-value store.

31st Oct 2025:

The Rippling phone screen problem ramps quickly. The full progression is:

  1. Set up state.
  2. Fetch API with error handling.
  3. "Load more" button UI + pagination (you wouldn't know about this unless they tell you).
  4. Infinite scroll + throttle + dedupe (no library imports allowed).

I got 1–3 done and partial 4 — and got rejected. Honestly this is too much for a 1-hour screen. You need butter-level fluency to finish it cleanly. Practice IntersectionObserver, a hand-rolled throttle, and deduping with a Set of seen IDs.

Got asked the IntersectionObserver question for the tech screen. Got data fetching working, displayed it, added a "load more" button, but stumbled on the IO implementation. I knew about it but had never had to use it raw — at work we use wrappers / common components. Worth practicing it from scratch before this screen.

30th Nov 2024:

Heads up: Rippling's "frontend" position is fully evaluated as full-stack. Don't be surprised when the rounds include backend / web-API work. They'll ask you to bring a simple Express (or any) Node server and implement CRUD APIs for something like a notification service, then do Q&A on broad systems engineering, security and monitoring.

29th Nov 2024:

There's a small subset of LeetCode questions tagged for Rippling. The most commonly reported one is the Commit/Rollback key-value store.

28th Jul 2024:

I passed the Rippling loop back in May. Inside the Marketing org so the loop might've been on the lighter side:

  • System design round: build Shutterstock.
  • Chat with the VP.
  • Standard LeetCode-style coding round.
