Software Engineer, Engineering Platform

Ramp; United States; Remote; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Ramp is seeking a Platform Engineer to accelerate how 300+ engineers move faster without sacrificing reliability. You will improve CI/CD, testing, and local development, and shape scalable systems across Python monoliths, internal libraries, and databases.

You will build automation to reduce friction for engineers and AI agents, enabling safer, faster production changes. Ideal candidates think in systems and have led improvements to developer tooling, CI/CD, or large-scale codebases, delivering

Qualifications

• Experience building or improving developer tooling, CI/CD, test infrastructure or service frameworks.
• Ability to design scalable, reliable systems that support large codebases and teams.
• Strong problem-solving skills across code, infrastructure, and workflows.

Responsibilities

• Improve Ramp's development workflows across CI/CD, testing, and local development.
• Design paved paths for high-frequency engineering tasks like service creation and migrations.
• Scale codebase and infrastructure for performance, reliability, and maintainability.
• Automate repetitive workflows to reduce friction for engineers and AI agents.
• Turn recurring sources of friction into reusable systems and defaults that teams adopt.

Job description

About RampRamp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. 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. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you've built. At Ramp, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome.The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year - far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same.If you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it.

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 codebas
