Job description
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 $275B in annualized spend flows in and out of 85,000+ 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 7.5% 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.
As Ramp’s founding Privacy engineer, you will build a privacy program that powers Ramp’s growth while earning trust from customers and prospects.
What You’ll Do
- Build privacy-focused application primitives and integrate them into our existing products
- Partner with other engineering teams to design and deploy solutions which are inherently privacy-centric and secure
- Improve, implement, and deploy data retention and anonymization strategies across our environment
- Track shifting legal standards (alongside with Ramp’s Privacy Counsel) and update Ramp systems and processes to match
What You Need
- Minimum of 4 years of experience building software
- Minimum of 2 years of experienced focused on platform, privacy, and/or security
- Desire to work in a fast-paced environment, continuously grow, and master your craft
