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.
