About the Role

The Credit Engineering team builds the systems that enable Ramp to manage credit lifecycles for businesses end-to-end, from initial underwriting through ongoing portfolio strategy optimization. As an engineer on Credit, you’ll own systems that influence $100+ billion in annual payment volume through millions of decisions across our product stack in support of the most ambitious FinTech portfolio in the United States.

We are looking for a backend engineer to own the technical roadmap for underwriting, limit management, portfolio optimization, and agentic workflows. You will build robust systems, automate complex operational tasks, and maintain the high-frequency controls that power all of Ramp’s products.

• Envision and build the next generation of agents and tools that automate manual credit decisions and increase operational efficiency.

• Develop high-volume, low-latency risk controls to support Ramp’s expansion into new products, customer segments, and geographies.

• Design and build real-time decisioning systems spanning the entirety of a business's credit lifecycle on Ramp.

• Partner closely with analysts, data scientists, and product to translate risk strategies into reliable software.

What You Need

• 2+ years of backend engineering experience.

• Proficiency in Python or a comparable backend language.

• Experience working with distributed systems and async frameworks.

• Proficiency with converting abstract business problems into robust data models and technical specs.

• Experience building or operating systems with strict auditability, observability, and correctness guarantees.

• High ownership mentality – you care deeply about the systems you build.

• Ability to work closely with non-engineering partners (Risk Strategy, Ops, Sales) to create impact.
