Technical Program Manager

About the role

We're looking for a Technical Program Manager who can operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and business. This is a high-agency role with real executive visibility and direct impact on how Ramp's engineering organization scales.

Responsibilities

• Lead large-scale technical programs across engineering and adjacent teams—from CI/CD and infrastructure scaling to incident response, and driving other strategic projects across the engineering organization
• Own Ramp's engineering incident response program, improving processes, running retrospectives, and keeping the bar high on how the org learns from incidents
• Be the connective tissue between platform and product engineering teams, ensuring context flows both ways and nothing falls through the cracks
• High-quality execution of projects in an effective manner
• Own programs end-to-end: from scoping and kickoff through delivery, observability, and retrospective
• Partner with engineering leaders to define technical roadmaps, understand how multiple projects overlap and complement each other, and ensure the programs fit within the goals of the organization
• Collaborate with lead engineers, engineering managers and other groups to help communicate business and engineering strategies to the wider organization
• Help shape how the TPM function operates at Ramp: set standards, define playbooks, and raise the bar for how technical programs are run

Requirements

• 5+ years of TPM experience, ideally in a high-growth startup environment
• Genuine AI fluency: you are actively building with and thinking about AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and using them in day-to-day work, not just aware of them
