Ripple is looking for a senior engineer to help maintain the high technical bar of the XRPL, while building innovative solutions to ensure the XRPL can power the growing needs of the global digital economy. RippleX Engineering is redefining quality for the XRPL ecosystem by building an autonomous, data-driven QA layer that validates rippled and Clio end to end.
Requirements
- Strong programming skills in Python, Java, or Go, with experience building and maintaining test frameworks or CI/CD integrations and Docker/shell scripting experience.
- Hands-on experience with QA tools such as PyTest, JUnit, TestNG, Hypothesis, Antithesis, TestContainers, Allure, and ReportPortal.
- Proficiency in functional testing, closed system validation, property-based testing, and fuzzing methodologies.
- Practical experience with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI) and observability stacks (Grafana, Loki, ElasticSearch).
- Understanding of distributed systems, networking, or blockchain protocols—XRPL or similar ecosystems a plus.
- Ability to automate data setup, environment provisioning, and reporting pipelines.
Responsibilities
- Develop and deploy test frameworks that validate XRPL core behaviors, ledger flows, RPCs, and amendment logic.
- Develop self-serve testing capabilities that allow developers to trigger full functional test suites through CI/CD pipelines without QA intervention.
- Integrate QA workflows using tools such as PyTest, JUnit, and TestContainers to make testing modular, reproducible, and environment-agnostic.
- Expand property-based and fuzz testing (Hypothesis, Antithesis, or libFuzzer) to uncover protocol-level inconsistencies and logic edge cases.
- Automate test result visualization and analytics using Grafana, Allure, and ReportPortal for transparent reporting and traceability.
- Implement auto-ticketing pipelines for failed or flaky tests with logs and traces linked to GitHub or Jira issues.
- Collaborate with engineers across RippleX and XRPL Foundation to extend open-source test visibility and reproducibility.
Other
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years focused on test automation, QA infrastructure, or validation frameworks.
- In-office collaboration for moments that matter is important to our culture, and we give managers and teams the flexibility to decide which 10+ days a month they come in.
- Competitive salary, bonuses, and equity
- Competitive benefits that cover physical and mental healthcare, retirement, family forming, and family support
- Generous vacation policy - work with your manager to take time off when you need it
