About the role
- Getting paid is still one of the most manual parts of running a business.
- Finance teams chase invoices over email, match payments to invoices by hand in spreadsheets, and close the books late because cash data is scattered across banks, payment processors, and ERPs.
- The work sits where hard engineering problems meet real money: matching messy payment data to the right invoices, keeping ledgers correct to the cent, and syncing reliably with the accounting systems our customers depend on.
Responsibilities
- Build the payment-matching systems that automatically apply incoming ACH, wire, card, and check payments to the right invoices, even when payment details are incomplete or inconsistent
- Design accurate data models where every dollar is traceable from invoice to payment to general ledger
- Build two-way integrations with ERPs like NetSuite and QuickBooks that stay consistent through retries, partial failures, and edits on either side
- Build collections workflows that help businesses get paid faster without hurting their customer relationships
- Own projects from problem definition and technical design through launch, monitoring, and iteration
- Raise the engineering bar through design reviews, code reviews, and mentorship
- Strong system design judgment and the ability to balance speed, correctness, reliability, and simplicity
- Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends.
Requirements
- Experience designing and operating production backend systems, including APIs, data models, and asynchronous workflows
- A track record of independently owning complex projects and shipping high-quality software
