RippleX assists developers building on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), a fast and reliable public blockchain. As a Software Engineer Intern on the Quality Enforcers team for the XRPL ecosystem, you will develop tools and services that keep this large distributed system detailed, credible, and understandable.
Requirements
- Experience with at least one programming language such as C++, Python, Java, or Go.
- Proven understanding of computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, operating systems or networking).
- Interest in distributed systems and/or data-intensive systems and methods to validate and observe them at scale.
- Comfortable working on backend or system-focused projects and collaborating in a team environment.
- Curiosity about applied ML/LLMs or automation powered by artificial intelligence for developer tools and analysis.
Responsibilities
- Build and implement backend tools and components of a multi‑agent system that exercise rippled, orchestrate tests from high‑level, natural‑language requests, and verify behavior across different scenarios.
- Build intelligent data workflows and pipelines over metrics, logs, traces, ledger data, and mainnet telemetry to compare runs to baselines and surface clear, actionable signals (anomalies, trends, hotspots).
- Use AI-assisted techniques if they provide customer value. This includes anomaly detection on time-series metrics and logs.
- It also involves natural-language summaries that make sophisticated run results clear for developers.
- Collaborate with engineers on building, code reviews, and documentation, and help refine the heuristics for what "good" looks like for XRPL reliability and performance.
Other
- Currently enrolled in an Undergraduate, Graduate, or PhD program or possessing equivalent experience in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
- Available for a 12‑week internship in Summer 2026 (May or June start), with intent to return to your degree program afterward.
- The opportunity to build in a fast-paced start-up environment with experienced industry leaders
- A learning environment where you can dive deep into the latest technologies and make an impact.
- 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.
