## Description

Rippling's Emerging Products teams which span Core Experience, Spend, and IT Products build deeply integrated systems across financial operations, IT administration, employee lifecycle automation, and enterprise security. These are high-trust product areas where reliability, correctness, security, and scale are critical.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll design and build the services, APIs, and platform primitives that power complex workflows across Rippling's multi-product platform. You'll 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.

This role also supports Rippling's expansion of AI-powered workflows across HR, IT, Finance, Spend, and core platform experiences. You'll help make AI capabilities safe, reliable, explainable, auditable, and enterprise-ready, while ensuring customers have the trust, transparency, and control needed to adopt automation at scale.

What you will do:

 * Develop and improve both product backend capabilities and user-facing features, working across the stack to make them shine
 * 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.
 * 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.
