About Rippling
Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance.

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, 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 @ addresses.
About the Financial Product Team
The Financial Product Engineering team is at the forefront of Rippling's expansion into FinTech. Our mission is to build a unified, global financial system for businesses-one that is fundamentally integrated with the company's employee, HR, and IT data. We simplify complex, cross-functional processes like global payroll, corporate spending, and expense management, ensuring businesses have precise control and real-time visibility over all money movement.
What We Build
Our team builds and maintains the core financial products that enable businesses to operate seamlessly, covering areas such as:

• Global Payroll: Developing the systems for calculating, filing, and processing payroll across multiple countries, including tax logic, compliance, and direct money movement infrastructure.
• Spend Management: We're building the system that gives companies total visibility and control over every dollar they spend. Our platform unifies corporate cards, reimbursements, procurement, bill pay, and travel into one integrated workflow that connects directly to accounting and payroll. Unlike point solutions, Rippling Spend ties policy enforcement, approvals, and accounting in real time, so finance teams can manage spend proactively instead of reconciling it after the facts
• Banking & Fintech Infrastructure: We're building the simplest, invisible, intelligent financial backbone for global money movement. This platform delivers secure, fault-tolerant, scalable primitives for money movement, billing, reconciliation, compliance, and financial intelligence, enabling rapid launch of financial products with minimal effort, and zero disbursement failures or manual intervention.
• Tax & Compliance Platforms: Designing robust, scalable systems to handle complex, rapidly changing tax and regulatory requirements across all jurisdictions. We operate in a zero tolerance domain for accuracy, timelines and compliance. Our platform manages calculation, setup, filings and payments of taxes for US and ever expanding international markets.

What you will do

• Work on the implementation and evolution of core platform infrastructure and shared services.
• Help drive mission critical projects to build and scale core platform capabilities
• Work closely with engineers across the organization to adopt these components to evolve existing products and bring new products to market
• Influence architecture, technology selections, and trends of the whole company
• Build and grow your engineering skills in different challenging areas and solve hard technical problems

What you will need

• 2+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with strong exposure to infrastructure, automation, or platform tooling (e.g., using Python/Go, AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes).
• Focus on engineering efficiency and operational stability, prioritizing platform projects that deliver the highest leverage for the entire company.
• Ability to thrive in dynamic environments where stability and security are paramount, quickly adapting to new technologies and operational needs.
• Excitement to work on complex platform and product infrastructure ideas to internal engineering customers with clarity and precision.
