AML screening, adverse media and threat investigation software
Ripjar sells financial crime compliance software built on a heavy data-engineering core: Kafka, Spark, NiFi, Airflow and Dagster feed HBase, MongoDB and OpenSearch, all run on Kubernetes across AWS and Azure. Hiring leans toward engineering and data, and job posts keep returning to pipeline hardening and absorbing far more data feeds, which points to ingestion scale as the main bottleneck behind SaaS growth.
