Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• Build foundational AI platform systems that support Rippling’s broader AI strategy across HR, IT, Finance, payroll, benefits, recruiting, compliance, and internal workflows.
• Work as a deeply hands-on Senior Software Engineer, with around 60% of time expected to be spent coding, debugging, reviewing code, and owning implementation.
• Contribute to the design and build-out of AI platform capabilities such as background agents, automated workflows, evaluation systems, data pipelines, and model quality feedback loops.
• Help build systems that allow AI agents to automate repetitive enterprise workflows with the right permissions, controls, approvals, and auditability.
• Work on platform systems that support self-healing and self-improving workflows, where AI can detect negative product signals and help identify root causes.
• Partner with Staff Engineers, Product, Infra, Platform, and Engineering stakeholders to convert ambiguous product/platform problems into scalable technical solutions.
• Own well-defined to moderately ambiguous components end-to-end — from design and implementation to testing, launch, monitoring, and iteration.
• Participate actively in design discussions, code reviews, debugging, production support, and operational improvements.

Who can apply

• Build reliable, scalable, and maintainable backend/platform systems that can support Rippling’s product ecosystem.
• This is not a generic chatbot or lightweight LLM wrapper role. The team is building core AI platform infrastructure that can make Rippling’s product surface more autonomous, context-aware, and self-improving.
• Engineers will get exposure to AI agents, automated enterprise workflows, self-healing systems, and custom intelligence layers built around Rippling-specific product context.
• The role offers strong learning, ownership, and growth opportunities for engineers who want to work at the intersection of backend/platform engineering and AI infrastructure.
• This is a strong opportunity for a high-potential Senior Engineer to grow toward Staff-level scope over time.
• Rippling AI is a high-priority company initiative, and the team needs strong Senior Engineers who can add meaningful hands-on execution capacity.
• The AI Platform team is lean and supports a broad set of internal engineering and product stakeholders, creating a need for engineers who can ramp quickly and contribute with high ownership.
• The team needs builders who are strong in backend/platform engineering and are comfortable working on scalable production systems.
