Enterprise blockchain infrastructure for cross-border payments and digital assets
Ripple operates a commercial blockchain network for payments and tokenized assets, built on Go, Python, Java, and Kubernetes across AWS/GCP/Azure. The company is shifting infrastructure away from Salesforce, Ansible, and Terraform while adopting WebAssembly—a pattern that signals modernization of both core ledger services and sales operations. Engineering dominates the hiring mix (70 roles), paired with leadership-tier security and compliance additions, reflecting the regulatory and technical complexity of enterprise blockchain deployment.
Notable leadership hires: Security Operations Director, Chief of Staff, Head of Compliance, PMO Director
Ripple provides blockchain-based payment and treasury solutions for financial institutions and enterprises. The platform spans several product lines: a cross-border payments network, a crypto custody and sourcing platform, a corporate treasury layer, and a decentralized exchange (DEX) integration on the XRP Ledger. The company operates a global network with over 300 customers across 40+ countries and six continents. Active development focuses on tokenized asset adoption, customer onboarding modernization, treasury infrastructure, and expanding the XRP Ledger ecosystem. Sales and partnership models drive customer acquisition alongside developer-led adoption.
