The Work 

As a Staff Engineer, Front End, you will be working on Palisade - Ripple’s flagship wallet as a service platform enabling businesses, fintechs and banks to build digital asset treasury, payment and exchange use-cases. 

What you’ll do

• Modern React expertise: You have solid experience building responsive web applications using ReactJS and TypeScript. You are comfortable with hooks, context, and state management.


• Form handling: You have experience building complex forms and implementing robust validation logic. You know how to make data entry easy for the user while ensuring data integrity.


• Styling proficiency: You have a knack for creating polished UIs. Experience with Styled Components is a major plus, but ultimately, you know how to translate designs into pixel-perfect reality.


• User-obsessed mindset: You don't just write code; you build products. You are passionate about the User Experience (UX). Experience with Figma or similar design tools is a plus, helping you bridge the gap between design and engineering.


• Clean code philosophy: You care deeply about the quality of your craft. You strive for simplicity, strictly adhere to DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principles, and write code that is readable and maintainable.


• Collaborative spirit: You are a genuine team player who thrives in a collaborative environment. You communicate clearly, welcome code reviews, and enjoy solving problems with your peers.


• Testing culture: You believe that code isn't complete until it's verified. Experience with testing frameworks (like Jest or Cypress) is highly valued to ensure reliability.


• Performance focus: You understand that a slow app is a bad UX. You keep performance in mind from the start, optimizing for load times, bundle sizes, and smooth rendering.


• Smart tooling usage: You leverage the right tools for the job—including AI assistants—to be efficient, but you are transparent about their use. You verify every output, ensuring that you maintain full understanding and ownership of the code you ship.


• Industry interest: While not required, previous experience in Web3, blockchain, or fintech is considered a plus.

What You'll Bring

• Proven track record of building and delivering backend systems from development to production


• Hands-on experience working on large-scale distributed systems


• Familiarity with event-driven micro-services, Kubernetes, and cloud-based infrastructure


• Familiarity with gRPC and protocol buffers


• Ability to work in a fast-paced start-up environment and be a core contributor to the success of the company


• A self-starter that thrives on autonomy and can see a task through from start to finish


• A positive attitude with a passion for acquiring and sharing knowledge


• Web3, blockchain, and fintech experience are a plus
