About the RoleThe team owns the core experience that helps finance teams control, automate, and optimize company spend.
We build the engine that powers Ramp's card and expense workflows-from card issuance and spend limits to approvals, policy enforcement, and real-time insights.
Our systems handle billions of dollars in transactions and integrate deeply with Ramp's AI platform, financial infrastructure, and partner ecosystems (banks, ERPs, HRIS).
As a backend engineer on this team, you'll work across product surfaces that are central to Ramp's success: cards, approvals, spend controls, and automation intelligence.
What You'll Do- Design, build, and scale backend systems that power spend controls, approval workflows, and card transactions at massive scale
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and data to deliver intelligent, user-first experiences for finance teams
- Integrate with Ramp's internal AI platform to automate spend policy enforcement and anomaly detection
- Own complex projects end-to-end - from architecture to deployment and observability
- Partner with the Product Platform and Integrations teams to ensure reliability, scalability, and data consistency across financial systems
- Continuously improve Ramp's transaction and policy infrastructure for performance, accuracy, and resilience
What We're Looking For- 2+ years of software engineering experience (backend or fullstack with a backend focus)
- Strong fundamentals in backend systems and API design - experience with Python, Go, or TypeScript is ideal
- Familiarity with PostgreSQL, AWS, and modern observability tooling
- Product sense: ability to balance technical quality with speed and user value
- Collaborative, thoughtful communicator who thrives in high-ownership environments
Nice to Have- Fintech or payments experience (cards, reconciliation, transaction processing)
- Exposure to AI- or rule-based automation systems
- Experience integrating with ERP or accounting systems
- Familiarity with security, risk, or compliance-driven domains
- Experience building reliable distributed systems that process large volumes of financial or transactional data
