Vice President of Engineering, Fiat Infrastructure

What You’ll Do

As VP of Engineering, Fiat Infrastructure, reporting to the SVP of Engineering, you will own the engineering platform that moves money across fiat rails on behalf of every Ripple product.

Fiat Infrastructure is a foundational execution domain. Every cross-border payment, stablecoin issuance, OTC trade, and custody flow touches fiat: money arrives as fiat, exits as fiat, and the infrastructure in between has to operate with institutional-grade reliability. Stablecoins make this more important, not less — as digital assets become central to institutional finance, the fiat layer that funds reserves, settles obligations, and completes payouts must operate to a higher standard than ever. Ripple is building a financial platform where fiat, markets, and crypto are three parallel execution domains unified through shared financial state and a common account abstraction. Fiat Infrastructure is one of those pillars — and the one that meets institutions where they are today.

Ripple has built a meaningful position here — money transmitter licenses across dozens of jurisdictions, direct integrations with banks and payout partners across the corridors that matter. Your mandate is to turn that position into a unified platform: shared across every Ripple product, and built to expand.

You will:

• Own the full fiat infrastructure domain — control plane, execution plane, and network layer — and define the clean, reusable interfaces every product team builds against.

• Hold the operational standard the business depends on: real-time corridor health, prefunding visibility, and proactive detection that catches problems before customers feel them.
