Ripple’s mission is to enable payments every way, everywhere for everyone.

This Internet of Value gives any internet-enabled person, application or device access to financial services that are transparent, fast, reliable, and cheap. Delivering this vision is a challenge of extensive scale spanning $155 trillion in annual cross border fiat payments and the $1.5 trillion market of digital assets that has grown 10X in the last year.

We are looking for a Senior Quantitative Developer to optimize the way Ripple interacts with digital asset markets.
