- Own technical strategy and execution for Data Deletion, Webscripts, Internationalisation, and Rippling Config Service.
- Partner with product, design, compliance, security, and infrastructure teams to define roadmaps and delivery plans.




- Drive architecture reviews and ensure systems are reliable, scalable, maintainable, and secure.
- Establish clear ownership, operational excellence, and engineering quality across multiple platform surfaces.
- Balance short-term product needs with long-term platform investments.
- Mentor senior engineers and engineering leads, helping them grow their technical judgment and leadership.
- Improve execution rigor through planning, prioritization, metrics, incident reviews, and continuous process improvement.
- Represent the team in cross-functional forums and communicate tradeoffs clearly to senior leadership.

What We’re Looking For
- 12+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years managing engineering teams.
- Experience leading platform, infrastructure, developer productivity, or shared product-surface teams.
- Robust technical judgment and ability to reason about distributed systems, data models, APIs, reliability, and scale.
