Full Job Description
About the Role

The Engineering Platform team helps 300+ Ramp engineers move faster without breaking things. We work across the full software development lifecycle, including local development, CI/CD, testing, service frameworks, reliability, architecture, performance, and maintenance.

Platform engineers on this team do not wait for a roadmap to be handed to them. They find high-leverage problems, validate them with engineers and data, ship solutions, and iterate until those solutions are trusted, adopted, and durable.

Agentic development has expanded our mission. We are building the systems that let engineers and AI agents work together effectively in Ramp's large, complex codebases: clear abstractions, orchestration, reliable workflows, fast feedback loops, and strong guardrails are now even more important. These platform investments unlock agentic workflows that can plan, execute, test, review, and ship meaningful changes, helping every engineer and agent at Ramp maximize their impact.

What You'll Do
  • Improve Ramp's development workflows across CI/CD, testing, local development, code review, deploys, and remote environments.
  • Design paved paths for high-frequency engineering tasks, including service creation, migrations, reliable background jobs, and safe production changes.
  • Help Ramp's codebase and infrastructure scale by improving modularity, performance, reliability, and maintainability across our Python monolith, internal libraries, and database systems.
  • Identify repetitive or error-prone engineering workflows, then build automation that helps engineers and AI agents complete them faster, more consistently, and more safely.
  • Turn recurring sources of friction or risk into reusable systems, workflows, and defaults that teams actually adopt.

What We're Looking For
  • You think in systems across code, infrastructure, workflows, reliability, performance, and people.
  • You have built and led improvements to systems that make other engineers more effective, including developer tooling, CI/CD, test infrastructure, service frameworks, or large-scale codebase architecture.
  • You are comfortable with ambiguity and ownership. You can identify problems, align stakeholders, make tradeoffs, ship useful solutions, and iterate. You dive into whatever part of the tech stack or process is necessary to solve problems.
  • You understand that speed and quality go hand in hand: the best platforms make safe, high-quality engineering feel faster, not slower.
Benefits (for U.S.-based full-time employees)
  • 100% medical, dental & vision insurance coverage for you
    • Partially covered for your dependents
    • One Medical annual membership
  • 401k (including employer match on contributions made while employed by Ramp)
  • Flexible PTO
  • Fertility HRA (up to $10,000 per year)
  • Parental Leave
  • Unlimited AI token usage
  • Pet insurance
  • Centralized home-office equipment ordering for all employees
  • Health and Wellness stipend
  • In-office perks: lunch, snacks, drinks, and more
  • Budget for intra-office travel
  • Relocation support to NYC or SF (as needed)
