Hyper Accelerating the Internet of Value

Location: Ripple is flexible-first: Ripplers have the option to work remotely, from our offices, or a combination.. 

RippleX supports one of the world’s fastest, most sustainable, and consistently reliable blockchains - the XRP Ledger. (Fun fact: it’s been carbon neutral for over two years now!)

We’re focused on helping others to solve their own problems using the XRPL. For example:

• We’ve written intuitive libraries for developers to easily send money through their apps. 
• We’ve contributed specs to the open source ledger to handle new use cases like NFTs. 
• We’re creating a toolkit for people to spin up their own “sidechain” networks to experiment with.
• We're enabling blockchain infrastructure that is supported by RippleX and owned by everyone.

All in all, we’re about making it easier to tap into the power of instant decentralized payments by providing infrastructure, tools, and support for developers to build on the XRPL.

We are seeking software engineering (computer science) co-ops who match our beliefs in the power of this technology. You also see the huge potential of this technology and have the entrepreneurial spirit and technical excellence to realize the vision we have. There is a lot of work to get there but we are committed to building out the best team to achieve this.
