About the team US Tax Operations resolves tax notices that clients receive from the IRS and state agencies, and runs the filings and payments work that prevents those notices in the first place. The team includes a notice-resolution organization of roughly 50 specialists across 7 managers and 2 pillar leads, and a filings, payments, and amendments organization of 4 teams under a third pillar lead. About the role US Tax Operations has been given broad access to AI tooling, including Rippling's own AI platform, to speed up how the department builds and automates its workflows. Without a dedicated technical owner, that access has produced a lot of partially built tools with no reliable way to verify whether they work or are accurate. We're hiring a Systems Lead to bring real engineering discipline to this effort: evaluating what's been built, fixing or replacing what doesn't hold up, and owning the systems and data infrastructure the department runs on going forward.
