Your question is Tell Me About Yourself. Take a moment with it on the right.

Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

You need to log in / sign up to chat or submit.

Problem

Tell me about yourself and what you are looking for in next role.

Keep your response focused on your professional journey, the engineering problems you have chosen to work on, and the capabilities you want to develop next. Explain why a Software Engineer role at Ramp, including work on products such as Ramp's corporate card, expense management, or payments platform, fits your goals. The interviewer is evaluating clarity, self-awareness, career ownership, and whether your motivations align with the role. A strong response should be concise, chronological, specific about impact, and grounded in the kind of ownership and collaboration you want in your next position.
