Requirements
10+ years of data engineering experience, with a strong track record of architecting and operating data platforms at scale — while remaining deeply hands-on.
Deep mastery of Databricks — Delta Live Tables, Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, and Spark — with the judgment to make platform-level decisions and the skill to implement them.
Demonstrated ownership of ingestion, transformation, governance, and data quality across a production platform.
Expert in SQL and Python, applied to complex data modeling, transformation, and platform tooling.
Strong AWS experience operating data systems at scale.
A history of being the technical bar raiser — setting standards and patterns that other engineers build on, and lifting the quality of everyone around you.
Responsibilities
At Ripple, we're building a world where value moves like information does today.
It's big, it's bold, and we're already doing it.
Through our crypto solutions for financial institutions, businesses, governments and developers, we are improving the global financial system and creating greater economic fairness and opportunity for more people, in more places around the world.
As a Staff Software Engineer on the Data Engineering team, you set the technical direction for the Caspian Data Platform — Ripple's centralized lakehouse powering analytics, financial reporting, product intelligence, and data-driven operations across every business unit.
You own the architecture for ingestion, transformation, governance, and data quality across the platform, and you stay deep in the code while you, do it.
You are the bar raiser for the team: the engineer who sets the standard for how data is built at Ripple, and the others learn from by working alongside you.
