About The Position

Rippling is seeking a technical, product-minded Engineering Manager to lead its Procurement engineering team and product through a 1-to-100 growth phase. After 2.5 years of incubation, Procurement launched in August as a strategic product intended to help move Rippling’s Finance suite upmarket into the enterprise sector. The product has demonstrated commercial viability, contributing to two of the five largest deals in the Finance suite’s history. The manager will lead a six-person full-stack engineering team, partner with Product, Design, cross-functional teams, and senior leadership on product direction and delivery, and guide technical design and architectural decisions. The role is expected to remain hands-on through shipping and reviewing code and contributing to high-stakes projects. It will also establish scalable operational workflows to help a lean team maximize output and revenue impact. The position is based in or requires willingness to work hybrid or on-site in New York City alongside the local engineering team. For office-based employees within a defined radius of a Rippling office, the current policy calls for working in the office at least three days per week. The role offers competitive salary, benefits, and equity; compensation depends on location and factors including professional background and experience.
