About the Role

Rippling’s Emerging Products teams build deeply integrated systems across financial operations, IT administration, employee lifecycle automation, and enterprise security. These high-trust product areas require reliability, correctness, security, and scale. As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will design and build services, APIs, and platform primitives for complex workflows, working on systems involving permissions, policy enforcement, payments, device management, procurement, auditability, and sensitive data handling. This role also supports the expansion of AI-powered workflows, ensuring AI capabilities are safe, reliable, explainable, auditable, and enterprise-ready.

Responsibilities

  • Own the design and implementation of backend services and APIs that power critical product capabilities.
  • Build reliable, secure, and scalable systems for high-volume workflows across Spend, IT, identity, access, approvals, and compliance.
  • Make strategic technical decisions around architecture, infrastructure, data modeling, performance, and operational reliability.
  • Translate ambiguous business and customer needs into robust technical solutions in partnership with product, frontend, platform, design, and cross-functional teams.
  • Build and evolve systems involving workflows, permissions, policy enforcement, financial operations, device and app management, procurement, and security controls.
  • Raise the technical bar through system design, code reviews, design reviews, mentorship, and backend engineering best practices.
  • Help create unified product experiences that replace fragmented point solutions for managing employees, spend, devices, apps, access, and business operations.

Requirements

  • Design and build services, APIs, and platform primitives that power complex workflows.
  • Work on systems involving permissions, policy enforcement, approvals, payments, device and app management, procurement, asset tracking, auditability, and secure handling of sensitive workforce and financial data.
  • Support Rippling’s expansion of AI-powered workflows across HR, IT, Finance, Spend, and core platform experiences.
  • Make AI capabilities safe, reliable, explainable, auditable, and enterprise-ready.
