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. And we get to do the best work of our career and grow our skills surrounded by colleagues who have our backs.

Our mission is to enable payments every way, everywhere for everyone. We believe connecting traditional financial entities like banks, payment providers, and corporations with emerging blockchain technologies and users is the path to an open, decentralized, and more inclusive financial future. This Internet of Value gives any internet-enabled person, application, or device access to financial services that are transparent, fast, reliable, and cheap.

We are looking for an innovative and collaborative principal applied scientist to join us in building the Internet of Value experience for our customers and their users. This is a high-impact role on a team charged with determining and delivering optimal liquidity for every customer in the world in a cost-effective, robust, and scalable manner. From forecasting supply and demand, to optimizing routing across traditional and digital assets and venues, to enabling price discovery for the long-tail of crypto assets and tokens, this role will be critical in developing the liquidity engine that powers the Internet of Value.

What You'll Do:

  • Design and build automated ML-based systems for forecasting, optimizing, and managing access to global liquidity so our customers can send value instantly, easily, efficiently, and cost-effectively to all corners of the world.
  • Lead the scientific vision and ML strategy for how we deliver scalable, auditable, and maintainable production machine learning services at Ripple.
  • Be a foundational member of our applied science pillar with a huge opportunity to shape its future.
  • Develop and hire the best.
  • Work with teams across the broader organization, including engineering, product, legal, compliance, finance, and business development to think beyond the technical design in delivering the best experience for our customers.

What You'll Bring:

  • Masters or PhD (preferred) in computer science, statistics, physics, or other quantitative field.
  • 10+ years of hands-on experience delivering production machine learning solutions to complex business problems.
  • 5+ years experience with Python and/or Java.
  • Broad machine learning experience including statistical modeling, time series analysis/forecasting, and experimentation, bonus if in finance and trading domains, especially FX.
  • Experience with cloud-based data processing and machine learning services and tools.
  • Experience recruiting and mentoring a world-class team of applied scientists.
  • You are excited about blockchains; the technical details and the potential benefits.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially with non-technical senior leaders.
  • Attention to detail and a commitment to excellence.
  • An entrepreneurial problem solver with a bias for action.

Who We Are:

Do Your Best Work

  • The opportunity to build in a fast-paced start-up environment with experienced industry leaders.
  • A learning environment where you can dive deep into the latest technologies and make an impact. A professional development budget to support other modes of learning.
  • Thrive in an environment where no matter what race, ethnicity, gender, origin, or culture they identify with, every employee is a respected, valued, and empowered part of the team.
  • In-office collaboration for moments that matter is important to our culture, and we give managers and teams the flexibility to decide which 10+ days a month they come in.
  • Weekly all-company meeting - business updates and ask me anything style discussion with our Leadership Team.
  • We come together for moments that matter which include team offsites, team bonding activities, happy hours, and more.
