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.

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.
