Software Engineer Intern, RippleNet Payments (Summer 2023)

Ripple is the world’s only enterprise blockchain solution for global payments. Today the world sends more than $155 trillion across borders. Yet, the underlying infrastructure is dated and flawed. Ripple connects banks, payment providers, corporates and digital asset exchanges via RippleNet to provide one frictionless experience to send money globally.

Ripple is looking for a Software Engineer Intern to help build the next generation of payment applications that enable banks to instantly settle cross-border payments to create the Internet of Value. Ripple’s distributed financial technology outperforms today’s banking infrastructure by driving down costs, increasing processing speeds and delivering end-to-end visibility into payment fees, timing and delivery.

• Build enterprise, distributed payment applications and services that execute settlement within seconds to enable the Internet of Value
• Prototype new solutions for complex software problems and implement them for on premise and cloud deployments and use cases
• Work with teams across the organization, including product, legal, and business development to think beyond the technical implications of your design decisions
• Continuously raise our standard of engineering excellence by implementing and driving best practices for coding, testing, and deployment

• You thrive on autonomy, responsibility and owning your work, end to end
• A positive attitude and a passion for sharing knowledge within your team and organization
• Eagerness to work openly and collaboratively with a diverse team
