Senior Software Engineer - AI Initiative

About the role

This is not a generic chatbot or lightweight LLM wrapper role. The team is building core AI platform infrastructure that can make Rippling’s product surface more autonomous, context-aware, and self-improving. Engineers will get exposure to AI agents, automated enterprise workflows, self-healing systems, and custom intelligence layers built around Rippling-specific product context.

What you'll do

• Work as a deeply hands-on Senior Software Engineer, with around 60% of time expected to be spent coding, debugging, reviewing code, and owning implementation
• Contribute to the design and build-out of AI platform capabilities such as background agents, automated workflows, evaluation systems, data pipelines
• Help build systems that allow AI agents to automate repetitive enterprise workflows with the right permissions, controls, approvals, and auditability
• Work on platform systems that support self-healing and self-improving workflows, where AI can detect negative product signals and help identify root causes
