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.

About the role
At Rippling, design is at the core of our mission to free smart people to tackle hard problems. We help teams automate the mundane, surface insights instantly, and operate with clarity and confidence. In a world of outdated, bloated legacy products, we're building business software that's modern, streamlined, and deeply considered.
Our Finance Products orchestrate the movement of billions of dollars every week-paying employees and contractors, processing invoices, filing taxes, and keeping companies compliant across dozens of countries. This isn't just about moving money. It's about trust, compliance, and livelihoods. When people's pay, invoices, or tax documents are on the line, "good enough" doesn't cut it.
Here's what makes this extraordinary: we're not just improving financial workflows, we're reinventing them. While competitors patch together decades-old systems, Rippling is building the world's first truly unified global finance platform. One system. Many countries. Many currencies. Every compliance requirement. It's never been done because most assumed it wasn't possible. Our mission is to abstract away staggering complexity and deliver a platform that businesses can run on with clarity and confidence.
As Senior Product Designer for Finance Products, you'll architect experiences that make the impossible look effortless. You'll take one of the most complex regulatory labyrinths on earth-thousands of tax codes, labor laws, payment rails, and compliance requirements that change constantly-and transform it into something so beautifully simple it feels like magic. This is product design at the highest level. Your decisions will determine how millions of people get paid, how businesses stay compliant, and how Rippling fuels its rocket ship trajectory into enterprise markets and global expansion.
We're looking for fresh perspectives from a seasoned designer who has tackled complex fintech or B2B products. Someone who sees complexity as a canvas, not a constraint. Someone who thrives in high-velocity environments. Someone who loves both setting the vision and rolling up their sleeves to bring it to life.
If you're ready to design the future of how money moves through the world of work, let's talk.
