Staff Software Engineer, Liquidity Management (C#/.NET)

The mission, should you choose to accept it, is to pioneer and scale Ripple Treasury's liquidity platform into the future. If you enjoy solving complex business problems in a fast-paced, collaborative, and iterative environment this might be the right role for you!

We are seeking an innovative and forward-thinking Staff Software Developer passionate about building a world-class platform through a world-class team. Creating technical software excellence and spearheading application development in design, implementation, and maintenance to make magic happen.

The Liquidity Management team is at the forefront of a major modernization initiative, reimagining how enterprise treasury teams manage liquidity across a global landscape.

We're not just maintaining what exists — we're rebuilding from the ground up with a bold vision: a modern, intuitive user experience with fast, streamlined workflows that make complex treasury operations feel effortless; a cloud-native architecture built on the latest technologies, designed for scalability, resilience, and speed; and first-class support for both traditional fiat currencies and digital assets, positioning Ripple Treasury at the leading edge of where treasury is headed.

What You’ll Do – Be a Force Multiplier:

Technical Leadership & Architecture:

• Drive architectural decisions for the platform, balancing scalability, maintainability, and rapid deployment goals
• Establish technical standards and design patterns that enable the team to ship features faster with fewer defects
• Lead technical design reviews and provide constructive feedback that elevates the team's architectural thinking
• Identify and eliminate technical debt strategically, creating roadmaps that improve both developer velocity and system reliability

Team Enablement & Mentorship:

• Mentor mid-level and senior engineers, helping them grow into technical leadership roles
• Break down complex, ambiguous problems into actionable work that distributes effectively across the team
• Establish coding standards, review practices, and testing strategies that improve overall code quality
• Champion engineering methodologies including observability, incident response, and production excellence
• Share your enthusiasm for tech trends, explore and learn new technologies, engage with tech communities, mentor fellow engineers, and lead in technical design and code evaluations

Enhance Agility:

• Drive adoption of modern engineering practices that improve developer experience and productivity
• Lead post-mortems and blameless retrospectives that turn incidents into learning opportunities

Strategic Technical Vision:

• Anticipate future scalability challenges before they become blockers (e.g., handling 10x growth in transaction volume)
• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend when/how to adopt them (e.g., new ML frameworks, database technologies)
• Balance technical excellence with pragmatic delivery, knowing when "good enough now" beats "perfect later"

Ownership & Accountability:

• Own critical systems end-to-end, from design through production support
• Take responsibility for production reliability and proactively prevent incidents
• Step into ambiguous situations and drive them to resolution without needing explicit direction
• Lead by example in code quality, documentation, and operational excellence
• Make tough technical trade-off decisions and clearly communicate the reasoning

• Core platform modernization — the team is rebuilding the platform from the ground up: a modern, intuitive UX with fast workflows, and a cloud-native architecture designed for scalability, resilience, and speed
• Real-time cash/liquidity data pipelines — building systems that give treasury professionals real-time transparency into cash and liquidity positions across banks, accounts, currencies, and legal entities worldwide
• Digital asset support — engineering first-class support for both traditional fiat currencies and digital assets as part of the platform's forward-looking vision
• AI features — developing and optimizing machine learning models for the GSmart AI engine that predicts cash flows and enables businesses to balance accounts in real time while making complex funding decisions

Years & Scope:

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
• 3+ years working on complex, business-critical systems in production
• Experience working on products with significant scale
• Strong communication skills with experience working in cross functional projects
• Track record of delivering projects that span multiple quarters and require coordination across teams

Technical Leadership:

• Led technical designs that were implemented by teams of 3+ engineers
• Made architectural decisions that had lasting impact on system capabilities
• Established technical patterns that were adopted across the team

Cloud & Infrastructure:

• Proficiency with at least one major cloud platform (preferably Azure)
• Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)
• Understanding of infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipeline design
• Knowledge of observability: logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting strategies
• Experience with microservices deployment patterns and service mesh concepts

Core Technologies:

• Deep expertise with C#/.NET
• Expert in relational databases (SQL Server ideally), including query optimization, indexing strategies, and data modeling
• Deep experience in building large scale multi-tenant enterprise applications
• Experience building and maintaining RESTful APIs and understanding when to use alternative patterns (GraphQL, gRPC, webhooks)
• Deep knowledge in building applications using React, TypeScript, JavaScript, and related technologies
