We automate how over $275B in annualized spend flows in and out of 85,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books.\n\nThe problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.\n\nWe 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.\n\nThe median Ramp customer saves 7.5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same.\n\nIf you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it.\n\nAbout the Role\n\nEvery approval request, receipt reminder, payment alert, and card notification Ramp sends has to reach the right person, on the right channel, at the right time. When it does, finance teams close faster and employees spend less time chasing tasks. When it doesn't, a missed message can mean a stalled approval, a late payment, or a flood of notifications nobody asked for.\n\nRamp's Communications Platform team builds the shared system that every product team uses to reach customers. It handles transactional messages across email, SMS, push, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp, including templating, delivery, retries, digesting, user preferences, and delivery monitoring. The team also supports the conversational experiences that let customers work with Ramp directly from the channels they already use.\n\nWe're looking for a backend engineer to own a core part of that platform. You'll take responsibility for an area such as message delivery and channel integrations, communication preferences, or platform reliability and scale, set its technical direction within the team, and keep it correct and dependable as message volume and the number of teams building on it grow. You'll work closely with product, design, and engineering partners across Ramp to make communications faster, more reliable, and easier for every team to build on.\n\nWhat You'll Do\n\nOwn the design and evolution of a core part of Ramp's communications platform, from technical design through launch, monitoring, and iteration\n\nBuild and extend integrations with messaging channels and delivery providers, including email, SMS, push, and workplace chat tools such as Slack and Microsoft Teams\n\nDesign delivery workflows that are idempotent, retry safely, and confirm successful delivery, so customers reliably get the messages they need without duplicate sends\n\nBuild communication preferences and controls that let users and administrators decide what they receive and where\n\nMake the platform simple and safe for other Ramp engineers to build on, with clear abstractions, strong defaults, and good developer tooling\n\nImprove the reliability, performance, and observability of the platform as message volume grows\n\nDrive technical direction for your area and raise the engineering bar through design reviews, code reviews, and mentorship\n\nWhat You'll Need\n\nExperience designing, building, and operating production backend systems, including APIs, data models, and asynchronous workflows\n\nA track record of owning a system or product area end to end and shaping its technical direction over time\n\nStrong system design judgment, especially around reliability, idempotency, and correctness in high-volume distributed systems\n\nProduct sense: you care about the experience of the people receiving each message, not just the ticket, and you balance speed with quality\n\nClear communication and a collaborative approach to technical decisions across product, design, and engineering\n\nNice to Haves\n\nExperience building notification, messaging, or communications platforms\n\nExperience integrating with messaging providers or channel APIs, such as Twilio, SendGrid, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or WhatsApp\n\nExperience building internal platforms or shared services used by many engineering teams\n\nExperience scaling high-volume, event-driven, or queue-based systems\n\nBenefits available to all full-time Ramp employees (Global)\n\nFlexible PTO\n\nCentralized home-office equipment ordering\n\nHealth and wellness stipend\n\nBudget for intra-office travel\n\nWeekly coffee stipend\n\nUnited States\n\n100% medical, dental & vision insurance coverage for you, with partial coverage for dependents\n\nOne Medical annual membership\n\n401(k), including employer match on contributions made while employed by Ramp\n\nFertility HRA (up to $10,000 per year)\n\nParental leave: up to 16 weeks (birthing + bonding) or 8 weeks (bonding only) at 100% pay\n\nPet insurance\n\nIn-office perks: lunch, snacks, drinks, and more\n\nRelocation expense coverage to NYC or SF (if needed)\n\nCanada\n\nGroup medical, dental, and vision coverage through Sun Life\n\nLife, AD&D, and disability coverage\n\nFertility drug coverage (up to $4,000 lifetime)\n\nGroup Retirement Plan with employer match (RRSP + DPSP)\n\nParental leave: up to 16 weeks (birthing + bonding) or 8 weeks (bonding only) at 100% pay, with additional time available at reduced pay\n\nEmployee Assistance Program and virtual care through Lumino Health\n\nUnited Kingdom\n\nPrivate medical insurance through Freedom Elite\n\nVirtual GP and at-home care via eMed x Livi\n\nWorkplace pension through Penfold, with salary sacrifice option\n\nParental leave: up to 16 weeks (birthing + bonding) or 8 weeks (bonding only) at 100% pay with additional time available at reduced pay\n\nReferral Instructions\n\nIf you are being referred for the role, please contact that person to apply on your behalf.\n\nOther notices\n\nPursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.\n\nBeware of recruiting scams: Ramp will only contact you through official @Ramp.com email addresses and will never ask for payment or sensitive personal information during the hiring process.\n\nRamp Applicant Privacy Notice\n\nCompensation Range: $172K -
