Software Engineer, Accounting

About the Role

Ramp is redesigning how businesses manage spend - and the backbone of that vision is clean, auditable, real-time accounting infrastructure. The Accounting Engineering team is building the systems that ensure every transaction and automation maps back to accurate financial statements.

We’re looking for a mid-to-senior level backend engineer who thrives in complex systems, cares deeply about data integrity, and wants to shape how finance teams interact with modern software. You’ll help us save customers time and money and support Ramp’s transformation into the AI-powered finance platform of the future.

What You'll Do

• Own backend services that power Ramp’s accounting platform, syncs, and rules engine.
• Build scalable systems that process millions of transactions across card, bill pay, reimbursements, treasury, and more
• Lay the technical foundation for AI agents to suggest and enforce accounting categorizations
• Improve internal developer tooling and interfaces to accelerate our team
• Uphold the highest standards around correctness, observability, and auditability

What You Need

• 3+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally in fintech, accounting tech, or transactional systems
• Experience designing and maintaining distributed systems with high data integrity requirements
• Strong understanding of system design, reliability engineering, and service observability
• Fluent in Python or a comparable modern backend language
• Comfort working closely with accounting teams and product stakeholders to translate business needs into clean code
• Passion for building infrastructure that balances precision, performance, and extensibility

Nice to Have

• Background in compliance-heavy systems or regulated domains
• Familiarity with financial integrations (e.g. NetSuite, QuickBooks, Oracle)
• Interest in working with AI/ML teams on intelligent accounting features
• A desire to move fast but hold the line on accuracy, especially when real dollars are involved
