# Applied AI Engineer, Fullstack **Company:** [Ramp](https://scaleengineer.com/companies/ramp) Applied AI Engineer, Fullstack at Ramp is a frontend-leaning role focused on designing and shipping customer-facing AI experiences for financial intelligence platforms. You'll own the full stack—from React UI and sophisticated state management through API design—building BI-tool-quality interfaces for agentic analysis, month-end close, and financial workflows while leveraging advanced AI coding models as a core part of daily development. This role is ideal for engineers who obsess over interaction design and data-dense UX while maintaining strong full-stack architectural thinking and shipping polished production systems in ambiguous environments. **Role:** Full Stack Engineer **Seniority:** Senior **Locations:** New York, NY (HQ) **Salary:** 161500–339450 USD [Apply](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/ramp/6a7e382f-240a-4952-b9e5-7fe2b3856bc9) Canonical: https://scaleengineer.com/jobs/ramp/applied-ai-engineer-fullstack --- ## Responsibilities - Design and Ship End-to-End AI-Driven Experiences: Own customer-facing AI experiences from conception through production deployment, architecting React UIs paired with backend APIs and data contracts that serve real-time agentic financial analysis systems. Build interfaces that feel as polished as market-leading business intelligence tools while handling complex asynchronous workflows and agent interactions. - Build High-Performance Data-Dense Interfaces: Develop BI-tool-quality interfaces for critical financial workflows including agentic analysis, FP&A planning, and book-close operations. Create fast, dense, and interactive surfaces that remain responsive under heavy data loads and real-time updates, while maintaining trustworthiness through proper error handling and data validation. - Own Complex Client-Side State Management: Architect and maintain sophisticated state management solutions for data-heavy, real-time, agent-driven surfaces. Handle the complexities of rendering large datasets, managing concurrent agent operations, handling optimistic updates, and ensuring consistency across distributed system interactions. - Collaborate on Full-Stack Architecture: Partner with backend engineers on API design, data contract definition, and system architecture to ensure the full technology stack serves product requirements rather than constraining them. Contribute architectural insights from the frontend perspective to drive scalable, maintainable systems. - Leverage AI Coding Models in Daily Development: Integrate advanced AI coding models and agentic development workflows as a fundamental part of the engineering process. Use these tools to accelerate feature development, improve code quality, and maintain productivity while building sophisticated systems. - Establish and Maintain Production Excellence Standards: Ensure customer-facing features meet production-grade quality standards through rigorous testing, monitoring, and performance optimization. Own deployed features end-to-end, maintaining them through ambiguity, gathering customer feedback, and iterating on designs to maximize impact. ## Requirements ### education - {"name":"Computer Science or Equivalent Experience","description":"Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, OR equivalent professional software engineering experience demonstrating mastery of core computer science fundamentals and software architecture principles."} ### technical - {"name":"TypeScript and React Proficiency","description":"Deep expertise in TypeScript for type-safe frontend development and React for building component-based, data-intensive user interfaces.

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. We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you’ve built. At Ramp, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome. The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same. If you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it. ## **About the Role** The Financial Intelligence team, part of Ramp's Applied AI org, powers the agentic analysis, FP&A, and book-close experiences that over 70,000 businesses rely on to run their finances. We turn messy financial data into a fast, trustworthy, governed data layer that AI agents can work with and build artifacts on top of. This is a frontend-leaning role for an engineer who obsesses over interaction design and data-dense UX, but is just as comfortable designing the API that feeds it. You'll own the surfaces customers actually touch: agentic financial analysis, month-end close, and exploratory data experiences that feel as polished as the best business intelligence tools. If you want your frontend work to sit at the center of real production LLM systems rather than being bolted on at the end, this is the role. ## **What You’ll Do** * Design and ship customer-facing AI experiences end to end, from React UI through to the APIs and data contracts behind them * Build BI-tool-quality interfaces for agentic analysis, FP&A, and book-close workflows: fast, dense, interactive, and trustworthy * Own complex client-side state and rendering challenges across data-heavy, real-time, agent-driven surfaces * Partner on API and backend design so the full stack serves the product, not the other way around * Use the latest coding models and agentic workflows as a core part of how you ship every day ## **What You Need** * Deep frontend expertise: TypeScript, React, and sophisticated state management in complex, data-intensive applications * Fluency with the latest AI coding models and agentic development workflows. This is how the team works, and we expect you to be excellent at it * Comfort working across the stack, including API design and backend systems, even with frontend as your center of gravity * A track record of shipping polished, production-grade product experiences and owning them through ambiguity * Bonus: experience with BI tools, data visualization, or financial/analytics products # Benefits available to all full-time Ramp employees (Global) • Flexible PTO • Unlimited AI token usage • Centralized home-office equipment ordering • Health and wellness stipend • Budget for intra-office travel • Weekly coffee stipend # United States • 100% medical, dental & vision insurance coverage for you, with partial coverage for dependents • One Medical annual membership • 401(k), including employer match on contributions made while employed by Ramp • Fertility HRA (up to $10,000 per year) • Parental leave: up to 16 weeks (birthing + bonding) or 8 weeks (bonding only) at 100% pay • Pet insurance • In-office perks: lunch, snacks, drinks, and more • Relocation support to NYC or SF (as needed) # Canada • Group medical, dental, and vision coverage through Sun Life • Life, AD&D, and disability coverage • Fertility drug coverage (up to $4,000 lifetime) • Group Retirement Plan with employer match (RRSP + DPSP) • Parental leave: up to 16 weeks (birthing + bonding) or 8 weeks (bonding only) at 100% pay, with additional time available at reduced pay • Employee Assistance Program and virtual care through Lumino Health # United Kingdom • Private medical insurance through Freedom Elite • Virtual GP and at-home care via eMed x Livi • Workplace pension through Penfold, with salary sacrifice option • Parental leave: up to 16 weeks (birthing + bonding) or 8 weeks (bonding only) at 100% pay with additional time available at reduced pay ## **Referral Instructions** If you are being referred for the role, please contact that person to apply on your behalf. ## **Other notices** Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records. _Beware of recruiting scams: Ramp will only contact you through official @_[_Ramp.com_](http://Ramp.com) _email addresses and will never ask for payment or sensitive personal information during the hiring process._ [Ramp Applicant Privacy Notice](https://ramp.com/legal/applicant-privacy-notice)
