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. That lets finance teams operate proactively, and it creates a hard systems problem across payments, data consistency, permissions, and scale. If you like building deeply integrated platforms that replace fragmented tooling, this is the work
