About the Role

We’re building the mission critical financial infrastructure that powers Ramp - a system of record that connects our products, data, and reporting into a single, trusted view of how the company performs. This is foundational systems work that ensures financial accuracy and visibility across the business globally, from tracking spend and revenue to forecasting, reconciliation, and reporting.

You’ll design and build durable, auditable infrastructure that blends data modeling, orchestration, and finance domain logic at scale. This work sits at the heart of Ramp’s mission and will form the backbone as we expand our product suite and grow internationally.

What You’ll Do

• Create robust and extensible data models and orchestration logic for ledgering, reconciliation, and financial reporting systems

What You Need

• Deep SQL knowledge and experience working with complex data models

• Proven system design skills - you can take high-level requirements and architect scalable, maintainable solutions

• Experience thriving in startup-like environments with high ambiguity and requiring independent problem-solving

• Comfortable working flexibly across the stack - equally at home prototyping analyses in a Jupyter notebook and implementing production backend endpoints

• Track record of building reliable, well-tested systems where correctness matters

Nice to Have

• Experience with financial data (banking, payments, card transactions, trading/exchange data)

• Familiarity with accounting concepts and ledgering systems

• Experience with distributed systems technologies (e.g., Kafka)

• Background in fintech products (billing, cards, payments, reconciliation)

• Experience working closely with internal stakeholders and translating business needs into technical solutions

• Experience with workflow orchestration tools like Temporal or Airflow

  • Partially covered for your dependents

  • One Medical annual membership

• 401k (including employer match on contributions made while employed by Ramp)
