THE WORK

As a Senior Software Engineer on the RippleX Platform Engineering team, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring the reliability, scalability, and security of XRPL infrastructure. The Platform team operates at the intersection of software engineering, infrastructure, and operations—managing critical services, public test environments, and internal developer tooling. With strong foundations in DevOps and GitOps, the team is focused on delivering fully automated, highly available, and cost-efficient systems that enable developer velocity and protect the health of the XRPL ecosystem.

In this role, you’ll drive the design and development of platform components and infrastructure services that support distributed, high-throughput systems. You’ll help evolve core systems through automation, monitoring, and incident response, while influencing technical direction and mentoring other engineers.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Design and implement scalable and resilient infrastructure supporting production-grade XRPL services and public blockchain networks.

Build automation for infrastructure lifecycle, CI/CD workflows, and deployment pipelines using tools like Terraform, Helm, and GitHub Actions.

Develop systems and services that support observability, secret management, disaster recovery, and regional failover.

Improve platform reliability through proactive instrumentation, alerting, and incident response in collaboration with observability and security teams.

Contribute to and maintain internal tooling, self-service workflows, and platform capabilities that support developer efficiency and service delivery.
