Rippling is a unified HR, IT, and Finance platform that automates the entire employee lifecycle—from payroll and benefits to corporate devices and third-party app provisioning. The company has raised $1.4B+ from top-tier investors including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, and Sequoia. You will lead the Payments Execution team within Rippling's newly formed Money Movement & Treasury organization. This is a critical role owning the reliability, scalability, and platformization of orchestration and payment methods systems that power global money movement. While a sister team in Seattle focuses on next-generation ledger architecture, your team executes the core payment infrastructure. You will manage a foundational team of 6 engineers with a clear mandate to scale both headcount and systems into a core pillar of Rippling's financial infrastructure. Key responsibilities include: - Own the execution layer: Lead and scale the team focused on orchestration platformization and standardizing payment method components across geographies. - Drive system reliability: Own uptime and resilience for critical money movement systems, establishing operational rigor and monitoring standards. - Build scalable infrastructure: Design and implement systems that handle increasing transaction volume and geographic complexity. - Mentor and grow engineers: Develop your team's technical capabilities while maintaining high-quality delivery standards. - Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with product, finance, and infrastructure teams to align on roadmap and execution. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role. You should be comfortable diving into technical details, unblocking your team, and maintaining operational excellence in a fast-moving fintech environment. The role requires someone who balances strategic thinking about system architecture with day-to-day operational discipline.
