Responsibilities
Greenfield Architecture: Design and build the "source of truth" system for tracking money movement, cash prediction, and treasury management. You will build the upstream systems that feed into our general ledger and bookkeeping
Global Expansion: Immediately own the core payment and treasury functionality required to grow Rippling’s Payroll and Spend products in the UK and Australia. Your work will directly unblock new international revenue streams
Scale & Reliability: Architect distributed systems that can handle exponential transaction volume growth. If this system fails, people don't get paid—so reliability, idempotency, and fault tolerance are your obsessions
Technical Leadership: Spend your time on solving some of the most challenging and ambiguous problems between hands-on coding and high-level design. You will help define the longer term year technical roadmap, help build the team around you, and mentor senior engineers
Cross-Functional Bridge: Collaborate deeply with the Treasury, Operations, and Analytics teams to translate complex banking and liquidity requirements into scalable software solutions
Qualification
Required
8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong track record in backend development and distributed systems
Proven ability to design large-scale, fault-tolerant systems from scratch
You understand the trade-offs between consistency and availability and know when 'eventual consistency' is not enough
You thrive in ambiguity
You don't wait for a ticket to be assigned; you identify the business problem, scope the technical solution, and execute
You have the intellectual curiosity to master the complex domain of treasury and money movement in a matter of days, even if you don't have a background in it
Deep proficiency in a modern backend language (Python, Go, Java, etc.) plus experience with complex data modeling (SQL/NoSQL) and data processing framework (Spark/Flink)
