Bogdan Cirlig is a seasoned engineering leader and four-time founder with 13+ years of hands-on experience building and scaling e-commerce, ad tech and fintech products that serve billions of users. Currently serving as the engineering lead for Rippling’s Benefits vertical, he combines startup urgency and product-first instincts with the operational rigor honed at Meta and PayPal where he ran organizations of 300+ engineers and delivered large revenue impact. He’s adept at taking products from 0-to-1 and scaling teams past 400 engineers while staying willing to dive into the technical weeds to unblock delivery. A talent magnet and experienced interviewer, he’s been part of global hiring and candidate review decisions at Meta and PayPal and consistently drives culture focused on learning, experimentation and measurable outcomes. Outside of tech he pursues winemaking and kitesurfing—an uncommon combination that reflects his appetite for hands-on craftsmanship and controlled risk.
