Role

Who you are

  • We hire engineers with a broad set of technical skills who are highly cross-functional and eager to solve a wide range of engineering challenges
  • Our ideal candidate ideally has experience in owning and optimizing enterprise-grade resilient cloud environments on AWS or Azure
  • A minimum of least 7+ years experience, including 3+ years of recruiting and managing a team of multiple senior engineers preferred
  • Background in owning, architecting, and operating a large-scale production cloud environment in AWS or Azure
  • Robust knowledge of Terraform, Dockerized containers, and infrastructure best practices
  • Strong familiarity with Python and Bash programming languages
  • Familiar with cloud-native technologies such as Datadog, Cloudflare, Amazon ALB, Service Discovery, ECS/EKS, Celery, Kafka, Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, Elasticache Redis, and S3
  • History of thriving in fast-paced cross-functional settings in technical, financial, or audited industries
  • New York-based for in-person office attendance

What the job involves

  • Help lead (and — if you’re up for it — manage) a team of highly skilled infrastructure 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 team
  • Proactively engage with your peers and managers to provide and solicit feedback
  • Recruit, interview, and develop your interview questions while fostering a culture of excellence, velocity, and humility

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.
