About the Role
We're looking for a hands-on Senior Engineer to play a key role in building Rippling's Security program. As an early member of Rippling's security team, you'll have a meaningful impact on the security program’s priorities and direction. You’ll design and build the services, APIs, and platform primitives that power complex workflows across Rippling’s multi-product platform, including systems involving permissions, policy enforcement, approvals, payments, device and app management, procurement, asset tracking, auditability, and secure handling of sensitive workforce and financial data. This role also supports Rippling’s expansion of AI-powered workflows, helping make AI capabilities safe, reliable, explainable, auditable, and enterprise-ready.
Responsibilities

- 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
- 5+ years of experience in a production environment using Python, Go, or a similar high-scale backend language.
- Deep expertise in distributed systems architecture, data modeling, and performance optimization of relational databases.
