Software Engineer, FedRAMP Infrastructure
About Ramp
Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $100B in annualized spend flows in and out of 50,000+ 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
Ramp is, at its core, an engineering company, and is on a mission to build the best engineering team in the world. Our Infrastructure supports the foundations of our product and platform, owning areas like compute orchestration, databases, messaging, observability, and developer environments. We build the primitives and abstractions that let product teams move fast while ensuring security, scalability, and reliability.
This role is a cross-functional position within the Infrastructure organization, with a specific focus on enabling our government environments (FedRAMP, GovRAMP). You’ll act as both a technical owner and a multiplier: helping shape compliant infrastructure patterns, identifying risks across infra domains, and partnering closely with other infra engineers to ensure our architecture continues to meet strict operational and security requirements.
You will be expected to take ownership of our government infrastructure and guide its evolution, while also contributing to high-leverage infra projects across the org.
Our ideal candidate combines deep cloud infrastructure experience with a strong sense of ownership, collaborative instincts, understands the nuances of operating in secure and regulated environments, and has a desire to mentor others and raise the bar across the team.
What You’ll Do
Influence the evolution of Ramp’s infrastructure to support our government environments
Work across infra domains to contribute to the next generation of Ramp's database, real-time queue, or container orchestration infrastructure, and ensure proposed changes are viable within our secure environments
Collaborate across our engineering organization to introduce and scale best practices with cloud-native technologies like Cloudflare, Amazon ALB, Service Discovery, ECS/EKS, Celery, Kafka, Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, Elasticache Redis, and S3
Build abstractions within Terraform to simplify architecture and increase developer velocity and ownership
Find solutions to Ramp's toughest scaling, performance, and low-latency problems
Participate in an on-call rotation to address critical production events
