About the role
- We're investing heavily in the next generation of enterprise AI: intelligent background automation, systems that monitor and improve themselves, and a custom intelligence layer built on Rippling's unique data and workflows.
- The opportunity is to make Rippling's products fundamentally smarter and more autonomous over time, not through one-off features, but through platform-level infrastructure that compounds.
- You'll be joining the team that recently launched Rippling AI, the fastest-growing product in Rippling's history.
Responsibilities
- Build and ship product and platform features that help teams use AI reliably across Rippling. - Work on backend systems, APIs, evaluation tools, and internal platform capabilities that support AI-powered workflows.
- Implement well-scoped pieces of agent infrastructure, including integrations, orchestration logic, monitoring, and quality checks.
- Debug production issues, improve observability, and help make AI systems easier to understand and operate. - Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to clarify requirements and deliver practical solutions.
- What you will need 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably building backend, platform, infrastructure, or product systems.
- Strong coding fundamentals and the ability to independently deliver well-defined projects or substantial parts of larger projects.
- Experience building production systems with attention to reliability, testing, observability, and maintainability. - Familiarity with distributed systems, APIs, data models, asynchronous workflows, or service-oriented architectures.
- Every customer touchpoint, from onboarding to expense approvals to IT requests, is being rebuilt around agents, and the platform you build will be the foundation every AI surface at Rippling runs on.
Nice to have
- Interest in AI products, LLMs, agents, evaluation, or automation systems
- direct hands-on experience is a plus but not required.
