About the Role

This role focuses on a full-scale rebuild of Ripple's Customer Onboarding Platform, transitioning from Salesforce-bound logic to modern, engineering-owned backend services. The Senior Engineer will integrate best-in-class vendors, design scalable systems, and drive architecture at a company-wide scale, serving as a technical anchor for a high-impact team. The position involves building new backend services from the ground up, addressing technical debt, influencing company-wide technical direction, and mentoring engineers.

Responsibilities

Lead the design and development of distributed, cloud-native backend services for onboarding across Ripple’s product suite.
Partner with Product, Compliance, and engineering teams to design scalable orchestration and data pipelines.
Migrate core onboarding logic from Salesforce into resilient, observable services and a dedicated persistence layer.
Build platform capabilities to enable faster onboarding with fewer customer touchpoints, while preserving trust and compliance.
Contribute to foundational data modeling work for Ripple’s future identity platform.
Champion engineering excellence in code quality, testing, and operational practices.
Mentor engineers and help grow a lean, high-impact team.

Requirements

Deep full stack engineering experience in modern, cloud-native, distributed systems.
Proven track record designing and delivering large-scale systems in complex environments.
Strong API design and integration skills (REST and/or gRPC).
Exposure to frontend frameworks (React, Vue, etc.) for full-stack capability.
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS).
Comfort navigating and reducing technical debt while delivering business value.
Leadership skills: ability to set technical direction, mentor others, and influence cross-team decisions.
Experience with Java + Spring Boot (preferred).
Ability to quickly learn JVM technologies (for candidates from other backend stacks).
Experience with event-driven architecture (Kafka, SNS/SQS, etc.) (preferred).
Domain knowledge in fintech, regtech, KYC/KYB, identity verification, or compliance-heavy systems (preferred).
