    About Rippling

    Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. For the first time ever, you can manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.

    Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can hire a new employee anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365—all within 90 seconds.

    Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.4B+ from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes.

    We prioritize candidate safety. Please be aware that all official communication will only be sent from @Rippling.com addresses.

    About the role

    We’re seeking a high-impact Senior Engineering Manager to lead execution for our Travel Experience organization. While our sister teams focus on core infrastructure and integrations, this team owns the end-to-end user journey from backend booking orchestration and AI-driven autonomous agents to the flagship mobile and web experiences.

    This is a critical role focused on building the primary user-facing pillar of our rapidly growing Travel suite. You will lead a foundational team of engineers across multiple geo locations, with a clear mandate to scale the product into a seamless, autonomous global platform.

    We’re looking for a technically savvy, execution-focused leader who has a deep ownership mindset over product revenue impact and system reliability.

    What you will do

    • Own the Booking Experience – Lead the strategy for critical user workflows across flights, hotels, and cars, integrating advanced AI features like autonomous booking agents.
    • Drive International Expansion – Scale the Travel platform to support a massive push into European and other international markets over the next 6-12 months.
    • Partner to Complete the Suite – Collaborate closely with Product to navigate high ambiguity, integrating Travel seamlessly into our broader spend ecosystem.

    What you will need

    • Proven Engineering Leadership – 3+ years of experience managing backend or full-stack engineering teams with a background in high-scale distributed systems or financial apps.
    • Strong Technical Bar – Must be willing to get your "hands dirty" when necessary, deeply understand the architecture, and actively drive the high-level roadmap.
    • Domain Expertise – Familiarity with complex third-party integrations, corporate policy engines, or high-throughput travel orchestration systems is strongly preferred.
