The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.

About the Role

The Applied Science team builds models and tools that solve Ramp’s most critical problems: from underwriting businesses to combatting fraud to making spend management smarter. We’re deeply embedded in the business and provide a quantitative foundation for decision making.

As an Applied Science intern, you’ll be a fully integrated member of the team and own your project from start to finish. Working with engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders, you’ll translate complex business needs into scalable machine-learning-driven solutions. This is a chance to apply ML concretely, ship code, and create genuine value for Ramp and our customers.

You will focus on exciting problems in areas like: credit, fraud, growth, or our core product.

 

What You’ll Do

  • End-to-End ML: own the model lifecycle from data exploration and feature engineering to training, benchmarking, deployment, and monitoring

  • State-of-the-Art AI: leverage the latest Large Language Models (LLMs) to solve novel problems and create new product capabilities for our customers

  • Versatile Techniques: apply the right tools to the right problems, whether it’s deep learning, gradient boosting, or causal inference

  • Rigorous Experimentation: quantify the impact of your work through A/B tests and other statistical methods

  • Collaborate: partner closely with product and business leaders to translate models and insights into actionable strategy and user-facing features

 

What You Need

  • B.S., M.S. or Ph.D. Student: currently pursuing a degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Math, Physics, Economics, Statistics, or other quantitative fields with an expected graduation date between Dec 2027 - 2029. Graduate degrees are preferred, but not a must.

  • Strong ML Fundamentals: solid understanding of the mathematical foundations of machine learning, statistics, probability, and optimization

  • Strong Interest or Experience with AI: curiosity and drive to integrate cutting edge LLMs and agents into applied solutions

  • Python Proficiency: good grasp of common Data Science libraries (pandas, scikit-learn, NumPy, PyTorch, etc.)

  • SQL Knowledge: experience wrangling data in a modern data warehouse (e.g. Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Clickhouse)

  • Practical Experience: track record of curating datasets and building/evaluating ML models

  • Strong Communication: ability to clearly explain complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences and use data to build a compelling narrative

  • Bias For Action: a comfort with ambiguity and desire to ship solutions quickly then iterate

 

Nice to Haves

  • Publications, Projects, or Previous Experience: relevant experience applying AI/ML and demonstrating your passion for the field

  • Production ML Mindset: knowledge of software engineering best practices applied to ML including version control (Git), testing, and writing maintainable code
