## Description

We build the system that gives companies real time visibility and control over every dollar they spend. Rippling Spend unifies corporate cards, reimbursements, procurement, bill pay, and travel into a single workflow that connects directly to accounting and payroll.

That lets finance teams operate proactively, and it creates a hard systems problem across payments, data consistency, permissions, and scale. If you like building deeply integrated platforms that replace fragmented tooling, this is the work, * Craft exceptional platform solutions that will benefit multiple teams to create a seamless user experience.

 * Be hands-on in technical architecture and be the liaison between between product leadership, engineering leadership, and technical workstreams

 * Play a pivotal role in leading and mentoring highly talented engineers across Spend Management.
