As a Senior Software Engineer on Ripple's Authentication Authorisation platform team, you will own significant parts of how identity works across our growing portfolio of payment, custody, and liquidity products. Our products have grown up using different identity providers and protocols, and we are now bringing them together into a unified, consistent experience while also building the fine-grained authorisation primitives that teams across Ripple rely on every day.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:

- Lead well-scoped projects end-to-end, making day-to-day technical decisions and bringing them to production.
- Build and operate platform services on Kubernetes, with a focus on reliability, observability, and secure secret management.
- Contribute to architecture discussions and technical proposals across the team and wider engineering organisation.
- Partner with security, compliance, and product teams to deliver platform capabilities that meet their needs.
- Support the development of less experienced engineers through code review, design feedback, and pairing.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING:
- Backend engineering experience in Golang or Java, including building and operating production applications within Kubernetes environments.
- Track record of taking projects from design through to production with limited supervision.
- Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants and LLM-based tools as part of your day-to-day engineering workflow.
- Experience collaborating across teams and writing clear technical documentation.
- Experience working on identity, authentication, or authorisation systems.
- Familiarity with modern authentication protocols such as OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SAML.
