Responsibilities:
- Design and build core P2P systems, from invoice ingestion and approval workflows to payment orchestration and reconciliation logic

- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Finance, and Data to translate accounting and compliance policies into robust, testable code
- Extend Ramp’s financial ledger to handle new transaction types, international payments, and automated audit trails
- Drive technical excellence around reliability, observability, and data integrity in systems where correctness directly impacts financial reporting
- Continuously improve developer tooling and internal APIs that make P2P data accessible across Ramp’s product ecosystem
Requirements:
- 3+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally in fintech, payments, or transactional systems
- Proven experience designing and maintaining data-intensive distributed systems with strong consistency and auditability requirements
- Deep knowledge of Python (or a comparable backend language) and SQL
- Comfort building event-driven systems and scaling high-volume, low-latency architectures
- Strong system design and debugging skills; you care about correctness as much as speed
- Ability to work closely with finance, risk, and product stakeholders to translate business rules into software logic
- Passion for building systems that are precise, reliable, and extensible as Ramp scales globally
- Experience with accounts payable, payments, or reconciliation systems
- Familiarity with accounting or ERP integrations (e.g. NetSuite, QuickBooks, Oracle)
- Background in compliance-heavy or regulated domains
- Exposure to AI-driven automation or interest in working with AI/ML teams to build intelligent finance workflows
- Desire to move quickly while maintaining an uncompromising standard for data accuracy and auditability
