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.</span></p><p style=\"font-family:&quot;Basel Grotesk&quot;,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px 0px;padding:0px;\"><br></p><p style=\"font-family:&quot;Basel Grotesk&quot;,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px 0px;padding:0px;\"><span style=\"color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:11pt;white-space:pre-wrap;\">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.</span></p><p style=\"font-family:&quot;Basel Grotesk&quot;,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px 0px;padding:0px;\"><br></p><p style=\"font-family:&quot;Basel Grotesk&quot;,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.38;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:0pt 0px;padding:0px;\"><span style=\"color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:11pt;white-space:pre-wrap;\">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.
