Software Engineer, Developer API

About the Role

Ramp's Dev API team builds the programmatic surfaces that let developers and AI agents read from and write to Ramp. We are an AI-focused platform team making it trivially easy for any engineer at Ramp (or outside it) to ship new capabilities across all surfaces. Our ideal candidate thinks agent-first, has strong opinions on developer experience, and wants to define how software interacts with financial infrastructure at scale.

What You'll Do

• Build and operate Ramp's multi-surface platform with a high bar for reliability, correctness, and developer experience across tens of thousands of businesses.
• Serve thousands of builders and partners using our API, driving a large fraction of Ramp’s revenue, and deliver on a massive business opportunity to embed Ramp everywhere.
• Build software factories -- autonomous tooling and agents that accelerate endpoint creation, enabling teams across Ramp to ship their own API surfaces.
• Lead design and execution of complex backend projects end-to-end (architecture, implementation, rollout, monitoring) in Python, Temporal, and Postgres.
• Own user experience and platform robustness end-to-end -- harden and evolve the API with an emphasis on quality, reliability, and sustainability.

What You Need

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience
• Experience building APIs or developer-facing platforms
• Strong instinct for developer experience -- you've felt the pain of bad docs, bad error messages, and bad onboarding
• Strong ownership over delivering technical and business outcomes in a fast-paced environment
• Demonstrated hands-on, daily use of AI coding agents as the primary development driver
• Comfort with agentic workflows, orchestration layers, and AI tooling broadly
