About the Role Ramp's Agent Developer Platform team builds the programmatic surfaces -- APIs, MCP, CLI, and agentic interfaces -- 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 (API, MCP, CLI) with a high bar for reliability, correctness, and developer experience across tens of thousands of businesses.
  • Build software factories -- autonomous tooling and agents that accelerate endpoint creation, enabling teams across Ramp to ship their own API/MCP/CLI surfaces.
  • Ship agent-first platform capabilities: agent cards, programmatic onboarding, permissions and guardrails, and evaluation and monitoring for agentic workflows.
  • Own platform observability end-to-end -- bring MCP and CLI to the same level of monitoring, alerting, and benchmarking as the core API.
  • Lead design and execution of complex backend projects end-to-end (architecture, implementation, rollout, monitoring) in Python, Temporal, and Postgres.
  • Enable distribution: make the platform the default way other teams expose new product capabilities to external developers and agents.

What You Need

  • 5+ years of backend engineering experience
  • Experience building APIs or developer-facing platforms
  • Experience and passion to build for agents
  • 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
