We automate how over $100B in annualized spend flows in and out of 50,000+ 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 Security Engineering team helps make Ramp the most secure place for our customers to collect, manage, and put to work their business’ financial information Our work centers in three areas: * Ramp builds products with an eye for security * Ramp detects and responds to threats before they cause harm * Security powers Ramp’s growth Check out our [Engineering Blog](https://engineering.ramp.com/) for more on our tech stack, mission and values!
