Job Summary We are seeking an experienced Windchill Java Customization Engineer focused on deep, low-level Windchill customizations using Java, PTC APIs, and PTC’s customization frameworks. This role suits engineers who enjoy working close to the platform, extending its behavior through services, listeners, and processors while preserving a clean and upgrade-friendly customization layer. The ideal candidate will bring strong Java fundamentals, deep familiarity with the Windchill platform internals, and a disciplined, performance-aware engineering style. In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers. The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production. Key Responsibilities - Design and develop advanced Java customizations within Windchill, including custom services, listeners, processors, validators, and helpers. - Extend the Windchill data model with custom types, attributes, and relationships using Type and Attribute Management (TAM). - Build custom JSP and HTML extensions, including custom tables, actions, and wizard pages. - Develop custom queues and background processes for asynchronous Windchill tasks. - Implement complex workflow expressions and robot delegates in Java, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards. - Optimize performance of Java customizations, including profiling, query tuning, and caching strategies. - Adhere strictly to PTC customization best practices, ensuring upgrade-friendly customizations. - Lead migration efforts to retire legacy customizations to modern PTC-supported patterns, planning phased cutovers, building backward-compatibility shims where needed, and ensuring each migration step is reversible and well-monitored. - Conduct code reviews and uphold internal engineering standards, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards. - Collaborate closely with functional consultants to translate complex requirements into clean Java designs. - Provide hands-on post-go-live and hypercare support, working closely with operations teams to triage incidents quickly, identify root causes, and drive durable fixes that improve long-term system stability. - Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time. - Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers through code review, design review, pair programming, and structured knowledge sharing, helping the broader team grow in technical maturity and confidence over time. Required Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline. - Five or more years of Java development experience, with strong focus on Windchill customization. - Deep, hands-on experience with the Windchill Java API and customization frameworks. - Solid understanding of Windchill data model, lifecycle, and workflow internals. - Strong Java OO design and performance-engineering skills. - Experience with JSP, HTML, and Windchill client-side customization. - Hands-on experience with Type and Attribute Management (TAM). - Strong SQL skills and familiarity with Oracle or SQL Server. - Experience supporting Windchill upgrades. - Excellent troubleshooting and documentation skills.

Title: Senior Software Engineer | GTM Platform, Backend Location: New York, NY Department: Engineering Job Description: Employment Type Full time Location Type Hybrid Department Engineering Compensation - $200K – $310K • Offers Equity The final compensation will depend on the location and level at which the candidate is hired. 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 $100B in annualized spend flows in and out of 50,000+ 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 Ramp.com is the largest top-of-funnel surface at Ramp - over half our inbound SQLs come from it. Web Engineering owns this surface and the tooling marketers use to ship on it. You'll build the platforms that let 9+ marketing teams (Product Marketing, Paid Ads, AEO, Brand, Content, Lifecycle, Communications, Events, Sales) launch campaigns, ship landing pages, run experiments, and update content at speed. About the Team Web Engineering is a lean and scrappy team that owns ramp.com end-to-end - the Next.js application, Sanity CMS, in-house A/B experimentation platform, and internal applications that marketers use on top of all of it. Recent shipped projects include Kirby Prototyper (AI-assisted landing page creation), Sanity MCP with guardrails (agent-driven content workflows), an Ad-Agent to programmatically run Meta and Google ads, and AEO infrastructure that enables Ramp to be cited in AI search results. The next phase is making those platform pieces compound. We’re doubling down on tooling that turns marketing requests into self-serve workflows, and we’re hiring two backend product engineers to drive the roadmap forward. What you’ll do - Own the end-to-end development of self-serve tooling that converts repeated marketing asks into reusable platform capabilities. Examples on the near-term roadmap: an MCP integrated directly with our design system and Prototyper app that enables marketers to go from idea to content outline to production ready landing page in minutes, AI content writing workflows, self-improving experimentation tooling, and programmatic sales asset creation. - Be opinionated about agentic and AI-augmented workflows. Most of our compounding leverage comes from tooling that pairs an AI agent with strong guardrails. We expect engineers here to drive direction of the agent layer. - Partner directly with marketers, designers, and PMs to identify which workflows are highest-leverage to automate. The job is part platform engineer, part product engineer - user research and tight collaboration with non-engineers is an expectation. - Set the bar for velocity and quality. We're a small team with high stakes (this surface drives half of inbound SQLs). You should be the kind of engineer who ships at high velocity without compromising the brand or breaking the production funnel. - Reduce the team's ticket burden by making the request unnecessary. Success is measured not in tickets closed but in the percentage of marketing work that ships without you touching it. What you need - 4+ years of product engineering experience, ideally at a high-growth tech company, with a meaningful share of that time on user-facing or platform-tooling work. - Demonstrated track record of building internal tools or platforms that materially reduced repetitive workflows for non-engineers. We're hiring for force multipliers, not feature implementers. Our FE applications are built with Next.js and Sanity CMS for the marketing site (ramp.com) our backend services use a mix of Python/TypeScript. - Strong product instincts. You can tell the difference between tooling that compounds and tooling that's busywork. You're comfortable saying no, scoping down, and shipping the right 70% over the wrong 100%. - Comfort with AI/LLM-augmented engineering. You’ve built or shipped agentic workflows, MCP servers, or LLM-powered tooling - or you have a strong, opinionated POV on how to. - Velocity and ownership. You ship without supervision, take the next problem before it's assigned, and operate well in environments where the operating model is still being written. - Cross-functional empathy. You can sit next to a marketer, watch them struggle through a workflow, and walk away with a sharper sense of what to build than they could articulate. Nice to Haves - Experience with marketing or growth engineering (CMS, experimentation, paid-ads pipelines, marketing analytics). - Experience with the modern data stack (e.g. ETL tools like Fivetran, workflow orchestrators like Airflow, data platforms like Snowflake) - Experience with MCP servers specifically, or with agentic systems that have to operate behind production guardrails. - Experience building experimentation platforms (LaunchDarkly, Optimizely, Statsig, in-house systems) or hands-on running rigorous A/B tests. - Background in SEO/AEO engineering, programmatic page generation, or AI-driven content workflows. - Experience working closely with brand and design teams - has shipped pixel-perfect, brand-defining web surfaces and cared about it.
