About the Financial Product Team The Financial Product Engineering team is at the forefront of Rippling's expansion into FinTech. Our mission is to build a unified, global financial system for businesses-one that is fundamentally integrated with the company's employee, HR, and IT data. We simplify complex, cross-functional processes like global payroll, corporate spending, and expense management, ensuring businesses have precise control and real-time visibility over all money movement.
What We BuildOur team builds and maintains the core financial products that enable businesses to operate seamlessly, covering areas such as:
- Global Payroll: Developing the systems for calculating, filing, and processing payroll across multiple countries, including tax logic, compliance, and direct money movement infrastructure.
- Spend Management: We're building the system that gives companies total visibility and control over every dollar they spend. Our platform unifies corporate cards, reimbursements, procurement, bill pay, and travel into one integrated workflow that connects directly to accounting and payroll. Unlike point solutions, Rippling Spend ties policy enforcement, approvals, and accounting in real time, so finance teams can manage spend proactively instead of reconciling it after the facts
- Banking & Fintech Infrastructure: We're building the simplest, invisible, intelligent financial backbone for global money movement. This platform delivers secure, fault-tolerant, scalable primitives for money movement, billing, reconciliation, compliance, and financial intelligence, enabling rapid launch of financial products with minimal effort, and zero disbursement failures or manual intervention.
- Tax & Compliance Platforms: Designing robust, scalable systems to handle complex, rapidly changing tax and regulatory requirements across all jurisdictions. We operate in a zero tolerance domain for accuracy, timelines and compliance. Our platform manages calculation, setup, filings and payments of taxes for US and ever expanding international markets.
