Senior Software Engineer, Backend Full Stack - Spend Product
About the role
Rippling builds the system that gives companies real time visibility and control over every dollar they spend. We unify corporate cards, reimbursements, procurement, bill pay, and travel into a single workflow that connects directly to accounting and payroll.
What We Build
Corporate Cards: Powers company spending through physical and virtual cards with built-in controls, configurable limits, and policy enforcement.
Expense Management: Helps employees submit expenses and helps finance teams review, approve, and reimburse them in a streamlined workflow.
Bill Pay: Gives companies a unified way to manage vendor invoices, approval chains, and outgoing payments. Combines document ingestion, workflow automation, financial operations, and money movement in a single system.
Travel: Connects booking workflows with the rest of the spend stack so travel activity, approvals, and downstream reconciliation all live in one ecosystem.
Procurement: Provides a centralized way for employees to request, approve, and manage purchases before money is spent. Combines intake workflows, approval chains, vendor coordination, and purchase tracking into a single system.
Banking: Enables companies to store, move, and manage their money with built-in controls and real-time visibility. Brings together accounts, transfers, cash management, and reconciliation into a single system tightly integrated with the broader spend stack.
