## About the role

We build the system that gives companies real time visibility and control over every dollar they spend. Rippling Spend unifies corporate cards, reimbursements, procurement, bill pay, and travel into a single workflow that connects directly to accounting and payroll. Unlike point solutions that reconcile after the fact, we enforce policy, approvals, and accounting in real time. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Experience: 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong track record in backend development and distributed systems
- Architecture: Proven ability to design large-scale, fault-tolerant systems from scratch. You understand the trade-offs between consistency and availability and know when "eventual consistency" is not enough
- High Agency: You thrive in ambiguity. You don't wait for a ticket to be assigned, you identify the business problem, scope the technical solution, and execute
- Domain Agility: You have the intellectual curiosity to master the complex domain of treasury and money movement in a matter of days, even if you don't have a background in it
- Tech Stack: Deep proficiency in a modern backend language (Python, Go, Java, etc.) plus experience with complex data modeling (SQL/NoSQL)
