About the Role

Ripple is seeking an innovative and forward-thinking Staff Software Developer passionate about building a world-class platform through a world-class team. The mission is to pioneer and scale Ripple Treasury's liquidity platform into the future, solving complex business problems in a fast-paced, collaborative, and iterative environment.

Responsibilities

  • Drive architectural decisions for the platform, balancing scalability, maintainability, and rapid deployment goals.
  • Establish technical standards and design patterns that enable the team to ship features faster with fewer defects.
  • Lead technical design reviews and provide constructive feedback that elevates the team's architectural thinking.
  • Identify and eliminate technical debt strategically, creating roadmaps that improve both developer velocity and system reliability.
  • Mentor mid-level and senior engineers, helping them grow into technical leadership roles.
  • Break down complex, ambiguous problems into actionable work that distributes effectively across the team.
  • Establish coding standards, review practices, and testing strategies that improve overall code quality.
  • Champion engineering methodologies including observability, incident response, and production excellence.
  • Share enthusiasm for tech trends, explore and learn new technologies, engage with tech communities, mentor fellow engineers, and lead in technical design and code evaluations.
  • Drive adoption of modern engineering practices that improve developer experience and productivity.
  • Lead post-mortems and blameless retrospectives that turn incidents into learning opportunities.
  • Anticipate future scalability challenges before they become blockers (e.g., handling 10x growth in transaction volume).
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend when/how to adopt them (e.g., new ML frameworks, database technologies).
  • Balance technical excellence with pragmatic delivery, knowing when "good enough now" beats "perfect later".
  • Own critical systems end-to-end, from design through production support.
  • Take responsibility for production reliability and proactively prevent incidents.
  • Step into ambiguous situations and drive them to resolution without needing explicit direction.
  • Lead by example in code quality, documentation, and operational excellence.
  • Make tough technical trade-off decisions and clearly communicate the reasoning.
  • Rebuild the platform from the ground up: a modern, intuitive UX with fast workflows, and a cloud-native architecture designed for scalability, resilience, and speed.
  • Build systems that give treasury professionals real-time transparency into cash and liquidity positions across banks, accounts, currencies, and legal entities worldwide.
  • Engineer first-class support for both traditional fiat currencies and digital assets as part of the platform's forward-looking vision.
  • Develop and optimize machine learning models for the GSmart AI engine that predicts cash flows and enables businesses to balance accounts in real time while making complex funding decisions.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • 3+ years working on complex, business-critical systems in production.
  • Experience working on products with significant scale.
  • Strong communication skills with experience working in cross functional projects.
  • Track record of delivering projects that span multiple quarters and require coordination across teams.
  • Led technical designs that were implemented by teams of 3+ engineers.
  • Made architectural decisions that had lasting impact on system capabilities.
  • Established technical patterns that were adopted across the team.
  • Proficiency with at least one major cloud platform (preferably Azure).
  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
  • Understanding of infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipeline design.
  • Knowledge of observability: logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting strategies.
  • Experience with microservices deployment patterns and service mesh concepts.
  • Deep expertise with C#/.NET.
  • Expert in relational databases (SQL Server ideally), including query optimization, indexing strategies, and data modeling.
  • Deep experience in building large scale multi-tenant enterprise applications.
  • Experience building and maintaining RESTful APIs and understanding when to use alternative patterns (GraphQL, gRPC, webhooks).
  • Deep knowledge in building applications using React, TypeScript, JavaScript, and related technologies.
