Senior Engineer, Backend, Vendor Management

ABOUT THE ROLE

Businesses need a clear, reliable way to work with their vendors, from collecting information during onboarding to keeping vendor records accurate as they purchase and pay. Vendors need a straightforward way to provide details and stay connected with the businesses they serve. Ramp’s Vendor Management & Portal team builds the systems behind those experiences.

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to make vendor information easier to collect, connect, and use across Ramp. You’ll work on services that support vendor profiles, onboarding requests, and the vendor portal, where identity, permissions, and data accuracy matter. You’ll own meaningful projects from design through launch and partner with product, design, and other engineering teams to make these workflows dependable for both businesses and vendors.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Design and build backend services and APIs for vendor profiles, onboarding, and portal workflows.

- Improve how vendor records and portal accounts are matched and connected, reducing duplicate work and making shared information more reliable.

- Build workflows for collecting and updating vendor information, including payment and tax details, with clear permissions and accurate data handling.

- Make vendor data available consistently across the products that depend on it, including procurement and bill pay.

- Own projects from problem definition and technical design through launch, monitoring, and iteration.

- Raise the quality of the team’s systems through thoughtful design reviews, code reviews, and mentorship.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

- Experience designing, building, and operating production backend systems, including APIs, data models, and asynchronous workflows.

- Strong judgment about data integrity, access controls, reliability, and the tradeoffs involved in evolving existing systems.

- A track record of independently leading complex engineering projects from design to production.

- Product sense and curiosity about how businesses and vendors actually use the workflows you build.

- Clear communication and a collaborative approach to working across engineering, product, and design.

NICE TO HAVES

- Experience with vendor management, procurement, accounts payable, or other business finance workflows.

- Experience with identity matching, deduplication, or sharing data safely across accounts and products.

- Experience improving operational visibility and reliability in systems that handle sensitive business information.
