Summary

Ramp is, at its core, an engineering company, and is on a mission to build the best engineering team in the world. Our Infrastructure supports the foundations of our product and platform, owning areas like compute orchestration, databases, messaging, observability, and developer environments. We build the primitives and abstractions that let product teams move fast while ensuring security, scalability, and reliability.

This role is a cross-functional position within the Infrastructure organization, with a specific focus on enabling our government environments (FedRAMP, GovRAMP). You’ll act as both a technical owner and a multiplier: helping shape compliant infrastructure patterns, identifying risks across infra domains, and partnering closely with other infra engineers to ensure our architecture continues to meet strict operational and security requirements.

You will be expected to take ownership of our government infrastructure and guide its evolution, while also contributing to high-leverage infra projects across the org.

Our ideal candidate combines deep cloud infrastructure experience with a strong sense of ownership, collaborative instincts, understands the nuances of operating in secure and regulated environments, and has a desire to mentor others and raise the bar across the team.

What You’ll Do

1. Influence the evolution of Ramp’s infrastructure to support our government environments
2. Work across infra domains to contribute to the next generation of Ramp's database, real-time queue, or container orchestration infrastructure, and ensure proposed changes are viable within our secure environments
3. Collaborate across our engineering organization to introduce and scale best practices with cloud-native technologies like Cloudflare, Amazon ALB, Service Discovery, ECS/EKS, Celery, Kafka, Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, Elasticache Redis, and S3
4. Build abstractions within Terraform to simplify architecture and increase developer velocity and ownership
5. Find solutions to Ramp's toughest scaling, performance, and low-latency problems
6. Participate in an on-call rotation to address critical production events
7. Mentor other engineers and contribute to a high-performing, inclusive engineering culture

What You Need

1. Minimum 6 years of experience shipping high-quality architectures for critical systems preferred
2. Production experience in AWS, GCP, or Azure
3. An ability to think through customer requirements and come up with high-impact ways to quickly solve their problems
4. Expertise in a production deployment of Infrastructure-as-Code i.e. Terraform
5. Proficiency in an object-oriented programing language

FedRAMP Requirements

1. Proven experience designing and operating cloud infrastructure (AWS) compliant with FedRAMP security standards.
2. Expertise implementing secure Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) solutions aligned with FedRAMP controls and audits.
3. Deep understanding of secure data handling, encryption, logging, and access controls required under FedRAMP guidelines.
4. Strong experience building, scaling, and securing database infrastructure and container orchestration systems to meet FedRAMP compliance.
