At Ramp, we’re rethinking how modern finance teams function in the age of AI. We believe AI isn’t just the next big wave. It’s the new foundation for how business gets done. We’re investing in that future — and in the people bold enough to build it.

Ramp is a financial operations platform designed to save companies time and money. Our all-in-one solution combines payments, corporate cards, vendor management, procurement, travel booking, and automated bookkeeping with built-in intelligence to maximize the impact of every dollar and hour spent. More than 50,000 businesses, from family-owned farms to e-commerce giants to space startups, have saved $10B and 27.5M hours with Ramp. Founded in 2019, Ramp powers the fastest-growing corporate card and bill payment platform in America, and enables over $100 billion in purchases each year.

Ramp’s investors include Lightspeed Venture Partners, Thrive Capital, Sands Capital, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Greylock, Redpoint, and ICONIQ, as well as over 100 angel investors who were founders or executives of leading companies. The Ramp team comprises talented leaders from leading financial services and fintech companies—Stripe, Affirm, Goldman Sachs, American Express, Mastercard, Visa, Capital One—as well as technology companies such as Meta, Uber, Netflix, Twitter, Dropbox, and Instacart.

Ramp has been named to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list and LinkedIn’s Top U.S. Startups for more than 3 years, as well as the Forbes Cloud 100 , CNBC Disruptor 50 , and TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential Companies .

About the Role

The Risk Engineering team builds the systems that enable Ramp to move quickly without compromising trust. As an engineer on Risk, you’ll own systems that influence $100+ billion in annual payment volume through millions of decisions across our product stack in support of the most ambitious FinTech portfolio in the United States.

We are looking for a backend engineer to own the technical roadmap for limit management, portfolio optimization, and agentic workflows. You will build robust systems, automate complex operational tasks, and maintain the high-frequency controls that power all of Ramp’s products. If you are obsessed with correctness, excited by ambiguity, and passionate about problems at the intersection of distributed systems and financial strategy, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

  • Architect scalable, stateful systems for automated limit management to optimize Ramp’s charge card portfolio.

  • Envision and build the next generation of agents and tools that automate manual Risk decisions and increase operational efficiency.

  • Develop high-volume, low-latency Risk controls to support Ramp’s expansion into new products, customer segments, and geographies.

  • Design and build real-time decisioning systems spanning the entirety of a business’ tenure on Ramp.

  • Partner closely with analysts, data scientists and product to translate risk strategies into reliable software.

What You Need

  • 2+ years of backend engineering experience.

  • Proficiency in Python or a comparable backend language.

  • Experience working with distributed systems and async frameworks.

  • Proficiency with converting abstract business problems into robust data models and technical specs.

  • Experience building or operating systems with strict auditability, observability, and correctness guarantees.

  • High ownership mentality – you care deeply about the systems you build.

  • Ability to work closely with non-engineering partners (Risk Strategy, Ops, Sales) to create impact.

Nice to Haves

  • Experience leveraging AI/LLMs for development or for internal workflows.

  • Interest in financial optimization problems.

  • Willingness to learn and move fast while holding the bar on correctness.

  • Defensive programming aptitude.

  • Experience using feature stores, rule engines and ML platforms in production.

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

  • 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)
