Ripple is looking to rebuild its Customer Onboarding Platform to move away from Salesforce-bound logic and integrate best-in-class vendors, creating a scalable, observable, and reliable onboarding experience across all Ripple products.
Requirements
- Deep backend 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).
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS).
- Comfort navigating and reducing technical debt while delivering business value.
- Experience with our current stack: Java + Spring Boot.
- Event-driven architecture (Kafka, SNS/SQS, etc.).
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and development of distributed, cloud-native backend services that power onboarding across Ripple's product suite.
- Partner with Product, Compliance, and other engineering teams to design scalable orchestration and data pipelines.
- Migrate core onboarding logic out of Salesforce into resilient, observable services and a dedicated persistence layer.
- Build platform capabilities that enable faster onboarding with fewer customer touchpoints — while preserving trust and compliance.
- Contribute to foundational data modeling work that will feed into Ripple's future identity platform (while ownership of Identity will move to a dedicated team).
- Champion engineering excellence in code quality, testing, and operational practices.
- Mentor engineers and help grow a lean, high-impact team.
