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. 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 Data Platform builds infrastructure and tools that enable Ramp to realize business value from data. We partner closely with stakeholder teams to build this infrastructure and the applications on top of it. This role is particularly focused on building platforms that support the data science development lifecycle. You’ll partner with applied scientists, AI engineers, Risk engineers, and other ML developers on building infrastructure and tools that enable and accelerate the development of machine learning models. What You’ll Do Build and integrate the components of Ramp's Analytics Platform and Machine Learning Platform. Build tools that improve the agility and data experience of Ramp's Applied Scientists, AI Engineers, and Risk Engineers. Collaborate with stakeholder teams on building and productionizing machine learning applications. Build reliable, scalable, maintainable, and cost-efficient systems across the stack.

Replit is the agentic software creation platform that enables anyone to build applications using natural language. With millions of users worldwide, Replit is democratizing software development by removing traditional barriers to application creation. Role Summary Replit is the world's most widely used AI coding platform, and as we scale, we're rebuilding how compensation works internally from the ground up. This role owns that. You'll go beyond traditional comp management to architect the systems, data infrastructure, and AI-enabled workflows that make fast, consistent, and high-quality compensation decisions possible at scale. You will serve as the architect of our compensation engine: translating compensation philosophy into scalable systems, and leveraging data, automation, and AI to improve speed, accuracy, and transparency. This role sits at the intersection of compensation, product, and systems design. You will partner closely with People Business Partners, Recruiting, Finance, People Operations, and the Data team to embed compensation directly into company workflows—eliminating manual processes and reducing reliance on comp as a service layer. You will shape how we attract, reward, and retain top talent, while building infrastructure that scales with the business. What you'll own Compensation Strategy Evolve our compensation philosophy across cash and equity; design and maintain salary bands, leveling frameworks, and equity structures Ensure market competitiveness while partnering with Finance on cost and workforce planning AI-Native Workflows Design and implement AI-enabled workflows for offers, merit, promotions, and market adjustments Build human-in-the-loop validation frameworks to audit AI-generated recommendations for bias, accuracy, and logic Decision Support & Analytics Operate compensation planning cycles and generate first-pass recommendations for comp decisions Build dashboards and analytical frameworks covering market competitiveness, interna

Replit is the agentic software creation platform that enables anyone to build applications using natural language. With millions of users worldwide, Replit is democratizing software development by removing traditional barriers to application creation. About the Team Product Platform builds and owns the shared foundations the rest of Replit is built on, spanning the full stack so every other team can ship features safely and quickly: backend infrastructure, connectors, product primitives, and the frontend platform. Our work is high-leverage and horizontal: when our foundations are solid every other team moves faster, and the role gives you exposure across the whole of engineering. We are a small, collaborative team that values curiosity and clear thinking over pedigree, and we work in the open by bringing each other the problem rather than just the request. We care more about how you reason and build than the route you took to get here. About The Role As a Product Engineer , you can focus on frontend, backend, or full-stack work building the shared systems other teams depend on. The work is guided by a few simple questions: Are our shared systems fast, reliable, and cost-efficient as traffic grows? Are we making product development safe by default, consistent, and faster? Can a builder connect a third-party service once and have it work safely across every app they build? Are user-facing surfaces consistent and fast, with shared primitives teams can build on? Is our codebase easy to navigate, change, and extend, including for AI coding agents? What you’ll do Design reusable primitives and interfaces with clear contracts and documentation that other teams adopt Work directly with product teams to turn their friction into platform improvements Profile and instrument shared systems, then ship the improvements that move latency, cost, and reliability Harden systems against failure and abuse, and make safe defaults the path of least resistance Set technical direction in a

What you’ll do Own day-to-day operations for the scanner program and scanner builds in the spa: purchasing/procurement, vendor management, receiving, inventory, and logistics. Stand up lightweight production operations as we move from prototypes to repeatable builds: build planning, kitting, work instructions, and readiness checklists. Partner with Quality to ensure the operational system supports compliance: traceability, document control, training records, NCR/CAPA workflows, and audit readiness. Drive cross-functional execution for the physical spa build-out and scanner integration: schedules, dependencies, risk register, and weekly coordination with vendors and internal teams. Own the “integration glue” across facilities + device ops: commissioning plans, acceptance criteria, and operational handoff (runbooks, maintenance, spares, escalation paths). Build and track operational metrics: cost, budget, lead times, vendor performance, build throughput, and reliability of critical subsystems. Audit of import/export documentation, management of contract renewals, regulatory compliance. What we’re looking for Proven operations leadership in hardware/medical/robotics (or similarly complex electromechanical products), including procurement and vendor management. Strong program management instincts: can run schedules, unblock cross-functional dependencies, and keep priorities clear under ambiguity. Comfort operating in quality/regulatory environments and building processes that are rigorous without slowing a small team. High ownership and bias to action: can jump between spreadsheets, docks, and the lab/site to keep the program moving. Useful experience Experience running prototype-to-production transitions (NPI, EVT/DVT/PVT-style builds, CM/EMS collaboration). Facilities / construction operations experience (GC coordination, MEP commissioning, site readiness). Familiarity with inventory systems and procurement tooling (even “simple but disciplined”).
