Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone with a deep understanding of backend engineering with a passion for performance and scale
- You should also be strong at identifying and building the right abstractions to support other engineers

- A minimum of 7 years of backend engineering experience preferred
- A minimum of 3 years of technical leadership experience leading and/or managing teams

- A track record of shipping high-quality products and leading projects at scale

What the job involves
- In this role, you will be an advocate and coach for your team while solving various backend challenges, doing hands-on coding, and scaling product success at a fast-paced start-up
- Our ideal candidate leverages their leadership, technical expertise, and passion to multiply the overall output of their development team
- As a technical leader, you’ll help establish the team’s vision and see it through
- Help lead (and — if you’re up for it — manage) a team of highly skilled backend engineers while coaching, mentoring, and advocating for them
- Collaborate on our technical vision
- Lead discussions and implementation of multiple complex projects
- Continuously improve our engineering processes, tools, and systems that allow us to scale the code base, productivity, and the team

Our take
Ramp provides companies with a dual offering of corporate cards and a spending management dashboard. The dashboard allows companies to oversee their costs, automate manual accounting practices, reimburse out-of-pocket spending, and earn cashback on financial outlays.
Founded in 2019 and coming out of stealth in 2020, the company has already reached a valuation of a whopping $8.1 billion in early 2022. Its clients include several big-name companies including fast-growth health tech startup Ro, Planned Parenthood, and Truebill. 90% of its customers have made the switch from legacy players such as Expensify and Concur, showing that Ramp provides real customer value.
The team that built Ramp is the same one that launched the automated price tracking company Paribus before selling it to Capital One. It is now focused on scoping out more M&A opportunities and boosting its headcount to support investing in its software and going into new verticals.
