About the role

Senior full-stack engineering leadership role on Rippling’s Transition & Termination team, focusing on discovery, design, and full-stack delivery of next-generation, customer-facing HR products for enterprise customers.

Responsibilities

  • Rethink and scale existing products for massive enterprise customers - identify product and technical gaps and deliver an opinionated redesigned approach.
  • Build net-new, multi-modal workflows—including chat-driven, "digest-based" UIs—allowing bulk enterprise transitions to be managed efficiently using AI.
  • Develop customer-facing products on top of a core temporality engine, creating conflict detection and intuitive UX for concurrent employee changes, such as mass compensation reviews.
  • Partner tightly with Design, Sales, TAMs, Support, Product, and the HRIS Platform team to continuously iterate on prototypes and drive product direction.
  • Establish a strict "definition of done" and enforce automated quality guardrails to systematically reduce regressions, operational effort, and support tickets.

Qualifications

  • Extensive experience shipping complex, full-stack, customer-facing products.
  • A highly product-minded approach rather than pure backend distributed systems architecture, coupled with deep customer empathy.
  • Ability to break down massive product visions into iterative, shippable milestones and clearly justify technical and product decisions.
  • Proactive problem-solving skills with the ability to "steelman and strawman" decisions and build robust prognoses backed by evidence.
  • Strong leadership and cross-functional communication abilities to mentor your team, manage across departments, and hold partners accountable.
