Own reliability and scale of Ramp's compute/storage/messaging infra as it moves to a cellular architecture

Ramp's Production Engineering team is infrastructure-generalist software engineers who take end-to-end ownership of reliability and scalability across compute, storage, messaging, and observability — not a siloed 'infra team.' A headline initiative in this JD is the company's move to a cellular architecture to support international scale, regulated environments (FedRAMP), and enterprise SLAs.
