About OnRamp
OnRamp transforms B2B customer onboarding into a revenue driver. Our platform automates workflows, streamlines playbooks, and accelerates time-to-value, helping enterprises reduce onboarding time by up to 70%. Backed by leading investors (we just raised our $15M Series A) and trusted by Fortune 15 companies, we’re redefining how companies bring new customers online.
We’ve built the system of record for post-sale workflows, powering onboarding and expansion for enterprise customers including Fortune 15 companies. Now we’re evolving that foundation into something much bigger: an intelligent system that actually does the work.
We’re building an agentic platform that eliminates friction in the B2B customer relationship.
The Role
We’re hiring a VP of Engineering to lead our transition into an AI-first company.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will be deeply involved in architecture, product decisions, and execution. But the mandate is bigger:
Build and lead a new kind of engineering organization. You will own how this gets built, from architecture to team to execution.
A small, elite team powered by agents and AI, where:
Engineering and Product operate in tight partnership to rapidly ship high-impact features
Engineers achieve outsized leverage through modern tooling and automation
Agents extend the team’s capacity and continue work asynchronously
A lean team delivers at the impact of a much larger organization
What You’ll Own
1. Build an Agent-Driven Product
Own the core product experience and technical direction of an AI-native platform used by enterprise customers
Lead development of agent-based, AI-powered systems embedded in real customer workflows
Build on a rich system of record with proprietary enterprise data
Ship quickly while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability
2. Design the AI-Powered Engineering System
Define how agents and tooling augment and accelerate engineering output
Build infrastructure for AI-assisted product development at scale
Continuously evolve how the team operates to maximize leverage and velocity
3. Elevate a High-Density Team
Lead a small, high-caliber engineering team of 10 to 15
Increase talent density, ownership, and execution standards
Coach and develop engineers to thrive in an AI-augmented environment
4. Lead from the Front
Stay close to architecture and critical technical decisions
Engage directly in solving the hardest problems
Set the pace for execution and quality
5. Drive Alignment and Impact
Partner tightly with Product, Sales, and Customer Success
Ensure what we build maps directly to customer value and revenue outcomes
Communicate clearly across the organization and with customers when needed
Who You Are

Strong track record building enterprise B2B products, ideally workflow-heavy or configurable systems
High judgment on architecture, tradeoffs, and product quality
Building with AI
Experience working with AI, machine learning systems, agents, or modern AI tooling
You think about how AI changes both the product and how it gets built
Talent Builder
Proven ability to attract, recruit, and develop strong engineers and teams
You know how to create environments where high-performing teams thrive
Exceptional Communicator
Clear, direct, and effective across engineers, executives, and customers
Comfortable leading high-level technical and product conversations externally
Execution-Oriented
You move quickly, prioritize effectively, and ship
You focus on outcomes over process
What Makes This Role Unique
Build on a real product with real enterprise customers, not a zero-to-one science project
Leverage a strong data advantage through the workflows and systems we power
Define a new model for engineering teams where AI meaningfully changes how software is developed
Lead a small team designed for speed, ownership, and leverage
Partner with an experienced leadership team across product, go-to-market, and operations
Join a Boston-centered engineering culture with in-office collaboration that drives velocity (while remaining in-sync with remote members)
