Responsibilities

• Lead the technical strategy and execution for Rippling's next-generation AI-powered Talent platform.
• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing engineering organization, hiring exceptional engineers and engineering managers while fostering a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and velocity.
• Partner closely with Product, AI Platform, Design, and executive leadership to define product vision, roadmap, and long-term technical strategy.
• Drive the architecture and delivery of AI-native products spanning the employee lifecycle—from recruiting and onboarding to performance, engagement, and talent development.
• Remain deeply engaged in technical decision-making, architecture reviews, and product development, setting a high bar for engineering quality and execution.
• Create an environment where teams can move quickly, make sound technical decisions, and ship meaningful customer impact.
• Scale both the organization and the technology as the business grows, balancing near-term execution with long-term platform investments.
• Help shape the future direction of Rippling's Talent organization as it expands into new AI-powered experiences.

Requirements

• Experience leading high-performing engineering teams, including hiring, mentoring, and developing senior engineers and engineering managers.
• Proven success building and scaling engineering organizations while maintaining a high technical bar.
• Strong technical depth with the ability to lead architecture discussions, evaluate technical tradeoffs, and contribute meaningfully to complex engineering decisions.
• Demonstrated experience building and shipping complex software products from concept through large-scale customer adoption.
• A builder mindset with the ability to thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and create clarity where none exists.
• Strong product intuition and experience partnering closely with Product and Design to define strategy—not just execute against requirements.
