The mission, should you choose to accept it, is to pioneer and scale Ripple Treasury's liquidity platform into the future. If you enjoy solving complex business problems in a fast-paced, collaborative, and iterative environment this might be the right role for you!

We are seeking an innovative and forward-thinking Staff Software Developer passionate about building a world-class platform through a world-class team. Creating technical software excellence and spearheading application development in design, implementation, and maintenance to make magic happen.

About the Liquidity Management Team

The Liquidity Management team is at the forefront of a major modernization initiative, reimagining how enterprise treasury teams manage liquidity across a global landscape.

We're not just maintaining what exists — we're rebuilding from the ground up with a bold vision: a modern, intuitive user experience with fast, streamlined workflows that make complex treasury operations feel effortless; a cloud-native architecture built on the latest technologies, designed for scalability, resilience, and speed; and first-class support for both traditional fiat currencies and digital assets, positioning Ripple Treasury at the leading edge of where treasury is headed.

What You’ll Do – Be a Force Multiplier:

Technical Leadership & Architecture:

• 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

Team Enablement & Mentorship:

• 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

• Share your enthusiasm for tech trends, explore and learn new technologies, engage with tech communities, mentor fellow engineers, and lead in technical design and code evaluations

Enhance Agility:

• Drive adoption of modern engineering practices that improve developer experience and productivity
• Lead post-mortems and blameless retrospectives that turn incidents into learning opportunities

Strategic Technical Vision:

• 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)

Ownership & Accountability:

• 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

What You’ll Work On:

• Core platform modernization — the team is rebuilding the platform from the ground up: a modern, intuitive UX with fast workflows, and a cloud-native architecture designed for scalability, resilience, and speed
• Real-time cash/liquidity data pipelines — building systems that give treasury professionals real-time transparency into cash and liquidity positions across banks, accounts, currencies, and legal entities worldwide
• Digital asset support — engineering first-class support for both traditional fiat currencies and digital assets as part of the platform's forward-looking vision
