Overview

ABOUT RAMP Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $200B in annualized spend flows in and out of 70,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books. The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.

What you'll do

• You bring ambitious ideas to life in real interfaces, prototype directly in code, validate with customers, and ship production experiences with a high bar for craft, performance, and reliability.
• Design at Ramp is AI first and builder led.
• Work starts in an LLM to clarify intent and constraints, moves into tools like Claude and Cursor to explore and build, is tested with real customers, and then comes into Figma for systems and polish.
• AI and self-serve research are default parts of the workflow, not side experiments.
• We are looking for multiple design engineers who think like a designer, code like a front-end engineer, and treat AI as a real collaborator.
• Design and build high-craft product experiences: Own key surfaces end to end, from concept through production.
• Use layout, interaction, and motion to make complex behavior feel simple and safe.
• Work AI first with Cursor and Claude Code: Use LLMs, Cursor, and Claude Code as your starting point.

Requirements

• Practical experience with React, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go.
• Relevant academic or project background for a Design Engineer role.
