Staff DevOps -Iceland (Liquidity)

About the job

Ripple is the world’s only enterprise blockchain solution for global payments. Today the world sends more than $155 trillion across borders. Yet, the underlying infrastructure is dated and flawed.

Ripple connects banks, payment providers, corporates and digital asset exchanges via RippleNet to provide one frictionless experience to send money globally.
Ripple is growing rapidly and we are looking for a results-oriented, hands-on engineer to help build the next generation of payment platform that enables banks to instantly settle cross-border payments to create the Internet of Value.

Ripple’s distributed financial technology outperforms today’s banking infrastructure by driving down costs, increasing processing speeds and delivering end-to-end visibility into payment fees, timing and delivery.

Prisma is an internal platform powering the communications to crypto service providers. The platform normalizes the apis and provides a single point of entry to all supported exchanges and wallet providers. This allows Ripple products to interact with the different crypto markets in a simple and more efficient way. We are looking for a software engineer that has a passion for learning and understanding the way a complex, event driven micro-service system works and can help drive forward the development.
