Job summary

Ripple in Chicago is hiring a senior/lead engineer to head the integration of digital asset capabilities with the Ripple Treasury platform. You will guide architecture, build a small team of full-stack developers, and deliver continuous software in a fast-paced Kanban environment.

You will collaborate with product, compliance and treasury experts to translate evolving requirements into shippable features for Fortune 500 CFOs and treasurers, blending .NET backend with Angular or React frontends.

Qualifications

7+ years of software engineering experience with a strong full-stack background in .NET and modern frontend frameworks (Angular, React, or equivalent).
Over 2 years of experience in leading engineering teams, encompassing recruitment, mentoring, and development of engineering groups.
Production background in fintech, digital assets, or blockchain — you have delivered systems managing actual financial transactions or digital asset activities.

Responsibilities

Manage the engineering process for digital asset integration by building and designing systems that join Ripple's digital asset functions with Ripple Treasury's enterprise platform.
Build and manage a group of up to four full-stack developers, recruiting, mentoring, and developing engineers while staying actively involved in coding.
Ship working software daily — lead a fast-paced Kanban workflow where the team builds, presents, iterates, and adapts direction based on findings and collaborator feedback.
Work closely with Ripple's core digital assets team to grasp protocol capabilities, integration points, and roadmap alignment.
Design full-stack solutions spanning .NET backend services and Angular or React frontends, ensuring enterprise-grade reliability, security, and auditability.
Navigate ambiguity with confidence — make sound engineering decisions with incomplete information, course-correct quickly, and keep the team productive through rapid pivots.
Partner with product, compliance, and treasury domain experts to translate emerging requirements into shippable features that meet the needs of Fortune 500 CFOs and treasurers.
Define engineering practices for the team — establish coding standards, review processes, testing strategies, and deployment patterns appropriate for a fast-moving, pioneering effort.
