Senior Software Engineer - Finance Platform

Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. 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, Rippling has raised $1.4B+ 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 @ Rippling.com addresses.

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Finance Platform team—one of Rippling’s most technically ambitious product engineering groups. This team builds foundational systems that power risk, compliance, fraud, and accounting infrastructure across Rippling’s finance products—products that move billions of dollars and pay millions of workers each week.

As a Senior Engineer, you’ll play a key role in designing and delivering platform capabilities that are critical to the company’s financial stack. You’ll work on high impact systems, own complex architectural decisions, and lead technical execution across multi-quarter initiatives.

What You'll Work On

This team is responsible for building key platforms that enable financial controls, automation, and intelligence across multiple products at Rippling. These include :

  • Powering real-time enforcement of financial policies and decisioning logic across Rippling's products to ensure trust, compliance, and safety at scale
  • Enabling internal operations teams to build, customize, and maintain internal third-party integrations and workflows with zero engineering involvement
  • Solving non-deterministic problems using machine learning and behavioral modeling. Detect anomalies, flag suspicious patterns, and enhance the quality of decision-making across Rippling’s financial ecosystem

What You'll Do

  • Design and build scalable backend systems from the ground up
  • Own critical parts of the platform architecture and drive technical direction
  • Lead complex projects across product and platform boundaries
  • Mentor and support engineers across the team
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, infra, and security to ensure reliability and scale
  • Contribute to the engineering culture through technical leadership and thoughtful design
  • What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience
  • Strong background in backend engineering, systems design
  • Experience independently delivering large-scale, high-impact projects
  • Clear communication and the ability to lead technical discussions across teams
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and turning it into concrete, iterative progress
  • Bonus Points

  • Experience with data-intensive or real-time systems
  • Familiarity with financial services, fraud detection, or compliance tooling
  • Exposure to ML systems, especially anomaly detection or risk modeling
  • Background in platform engineering
