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.

Design is at the center of how Rippling turns complex business software into products people can understand, trust, and use. As a Lead Product Designer on the AI Platform team, you will help define how AI shows up across Rippling’s product suite and shape the patterns, systems, and interaction models that make enterprise AI useful, reliable, and deeply integrated into work.
This is a leadership-level individual contributor role for a designer who can operate across ambiguous, high-leverage problem spaces. You will work across multiple product verticals, partnering closely with product, engineering, and executive leadership, aligning others to critical outcomes while helping to translate emerging AI capabilities into coherent product experiences that scale across Rippling. The work is highly visible and strategically important: you will influence not just individual features, but the future of enterprise human-agent interaction.
The right person for this role is both strategic and hands-on. You should be able to shape the narrative for how enterprise AI should work, while also getting deep into the details of interaction and graphic design, technical constraints, model behavior, workflows, permissions, and edge cases. In short: you should care about the interface, but understand that the hard part is often the plumbing behind it. If you are a design leader with a renewed interest in building AI things with AI tools, we want to talk to you.
If you don't meet every requirement but are excited about the role, we encourage you to apply. Skills transfer in unexpected ways, and diverse perspectives often lead to the most innovative solutions.
The AI Platform team is building the foundations that make Rippling’s products AI-native. The team works across the full Rippling platform, partnering with product teams in areas like HR, IT, Finance, Spend, Travel, Payroll, Benefits, and more to bring AI capabilities into the workflows businesses rely on every day.
This team sits at the intersection of product design, AI infrastructure, product engineering, and company strategy. The work is unusually broad: designing AI patterns that can operate across many domains, many user types, and many product surfaces while still feeling coherent, trustworthy, and distinctly Rippling.
As the Lead Product Designer for AI Platform, you will be a key design partner to senior product and engineering leaders and a force multiplier for designers working on AI experiences across the company. You will engage with PMs and EMs across AI Platform, go deep with pods that are actively shipping, and help connect their work into a clear, scalable product language for AI at Rippling.
Even if you don’t meet all of the requirements listed here, we still encourage you to apply. Skills can be used in lots of different ways, and your life and professional experience may be relevant beyond what a list of requirements will capture.
