Design Engineer, Brand

Ramp Ramp · Fintech · New York, NY · Design

Ramp is seeking a Design Engineer to own and elevate the brand experience on their web properties. This role involves a blend of brand, product, and engineering, focusing on creating interactive product storytelling and a scalable web design system. The engineer will prototype using code and LLMs, partner with or lead engineering efforts for production, and ensure the web experience is coherent with the product experience. The role emphasizes building and owning high-stakes web surfaces end-to-end.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own Ramp's highest-stakes web surfaces end to end: launch pages, product marketing experiences, and interactive storytelling that lets people experience the product before they log in
  2. Build and evolve a scalable web design system: layout patterns, component libraries, motion language, and brand standards that other designers and engineers ship from
  3. Prototype in code and LLMs first. Build working interactive prototypes of key moments, then hand that code directly to engineering or ship it yourself
  4. Lead web redesigns from concept through production, partnering directly with engineering and growth
  5. Set and hold the visual bar: typography, spacing, color, motion, hierarchy across every external surface
