## Description

Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends.

We’re hiring a Design Systems Engineer to be one of the few engineers building the components that every Ramp product team uses , the person who makes our design system real in code.

You’ll work in close partnership with our design systems lead and designers: they decide what the rules are, and you decide how to enforce them.

**Responsibilities**

- Build and evolve the components and APIs that every product team at Ramp depends on

- Make the enforcement call: when to encode a rule in the component itself, when to leave it to guidance, and when to invest in automation that catches drift

- Partner with our design systems lead and designers to turn UX patterns and principles into working, consistent components

- Shape the system so it holds up when both engineers and AI agents are building on it

- Contribute to internal tooling and infrastructure that keeps velocity high without sacrificing quality

- Champion the user experience and accessibility of our products, and keep the quality bar high

- Help designers and engineers across Ramp ship faster with elegant, consistent component APIs and a focus on developer experience

- Advocate for users by continuously iterating on our core products and experiences

- Participate in day-to-day team rituals like design crit, story creation, and weekly stand-ups

- Help us hire and grow the team to bring more craft and more perspectives to the work

**Requirements**

- Tech/startup or digital product agency experience, or equivalent

- A strong frontend engineer who could pass any engineering loop at Ramp , real hands-on skill, not just prompting AI to write code

- Experience building design system components and APIs, not only consuming them

- Excellent front-end development skills in semantic HTML, CSS (up to date on latest features) and JavaScript (and frameworks, pref. React)

- Ability to drive implementation end to end, with sound UX and system design sense

- Strong understanding of Product Design software (pref. Figma) and visual/interaction design principles

- Strong organizational skills and a love for documentation

- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a willingness to push back with reasons

**Nice to Have**

- Design systems experience from before AI tooling took off

- Ability to articulate complex concepts to technical and non-technical peers

- Solid understanding of accessibility development practices

**Benefits**

- Flexible PTO

- Centralized home-office equipment ordering

- Health and wellness stipend

- Budget for intra-office travel

- Weekly coffee stipend

- 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
