About the role

  • We automate how over $200B in annualized spend flows in and out of 70,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books.
  • The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.
  • We hire people with high agency and high urgency.

Responsibilities

  • Build and operate critical infrastructure across Ramp's compute, storage, messaging, and observability stack - owning the systems that handle real financial transactions at scale.
  • Drive architectural change - not just flag problems.
  • Partner with product teams at the design phase - reviewing architectures, embedding golden paths, and making it easy to build correctly the first time.
  • Build Ramp's next level of scale - you'll be a hands-on contributor to the most consequential infrastructure shift happening right now: our move to a cellular architecture, enabling Ramp to scale, reach international markets, operate in highly regulated and constrained environments (e.g. FedRAMP), and deliver on enterprise-grade SLAs.
  • Enable AI-native engineering - as Ramp builds increasingly AI-powered products, PE is the team that makes sure the platform can support them.
  • You'll proactively partner with product teams on AI infrastructure patterns, define the golden paths that turn one-off solutions into reusable foundations, and stay ahead of emerging challenges before they become blockers.
  • Build developer tooling and self-service infrastructure - so that other teams can answer their own questions (cost, performance, reliability) without involving PE.
  • Lead across the company - PE doesn't just review designs or show up when called.
  • You build for them, communicate with them proactively, and measure success by how much faster they can ship.
  • You write production code, you own systems end-to-end, and you drive technical outcomes across the organization - not just within your team.

Requirements

  • You can't walk past something broken without wanting to fix it - and you don't stop at the workaround.
  • You know when to go fast and when to slow down and do it right.

Nice to have

  • 3+ years of software engineering management shipping high-quality architectures for critical systems
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals - you write clean, well-tested, production-ready code
  • Hands-on experience with distributed systems at production scale
  • Experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred)
  • Familiarity with observability practices (SLOs, error budgets, alerting, dashboards)
  • Track record of leading technical projects end-to-end, including cross-team coordination
  • Experience with cellular or multi-tenant architecture patterns
  • Prior work on workflow orchestration systems (Temporal)

Skills

  • Storage - databases, caching, object storage, and the data infrastructure that underpins everything
  • Workflows & Messaging - the systems that power Ramp's financial workflows and event-driven architecture
  • Internal Infrastructure - the platform that makes every builder at

Compensation

  • Fertility HRA (up to $10,000 per year)

Benefits

  • Centralized home-office equipment ordering
  • Health and wellness stipend
  • Weekly coffee stipend
  • 100% medical, dental & vision insurance coverage for you, with partial coverage for dependents
  • One Medical annual membership
  • Relocation expense coverage to NYC or SF (if needed)
  • Group medical, dental, and vision coverage through Sun Life
  • Life, AD&D, and disability coverage
  • Fertility drug coverage (up to $4,000 lifetime)
  • Group Retirement Plan with employer match (RRSP + DPSP)
  • Parental leave: up to 16 weeks (birthing + bonding) or 8 weeks (bonding only) at 100% pay, with additional time available at reduced pay
  • Employee Assistance Program and virtual care through Lumino Health

Company info

  • The mindset we're looking for: - You can't walk past something broken without wanting to fix it - and you don't stop at the workaround.
  • We win when our customers win. - You leave things better than you found them.
  • We win when our customers win.
  • The mindset we're looking for:
  • Comfortable using AI tooling and coding agents as part of your everyday engineering workflow - we expect our engineers to leverage these tools to move faster and think bigger
