Engineering Manager, Digital Assets

As an Engineering Manager for Digital Assets at Ripple, you lead the engineering effort to integrate Ripple's digital asset capabilities into the Ripple Treasury platform. You head a greenfield initiative that removes the choice corporate treasury teams currently face between legacy platforms and crypto-native tools. Working closely with Ripple's core digital assets team and a product lead, you build and manage a team of up to four full-stack developers to establish a new category of enterprise software.

What you'll do

• Manage the engineering process for digital asset integration by building and designing systems that join Ripple's digital asset functions (XRP, RLUSD, tokenized assets, custody, cross-border settlement) with Ripple Treasury's enterprise platform.
• Build and manage a group of up to four full-stack .NET developers, recruiting, mentoring, and developing engineers while staying actively involved in coding.
• Ship working software daily, leading a fast-paced Kanban workflow where the team builds, presents, iterates, and adapts direction based on findings and collaborator feedback.
• Work closely with Ripple's core digital assets team to understand protocol capabilities, integration points, and roadmap alignment.
• Design full-stack solutions spanning .NET backend services and Angular or React frontends, ensuring enterprise-grade reliability, security, and auditability.
• Navigate ambiguity with confidence by making sound engineering decisions with incomplete information, course-correcting quickly, and keeping the team productive through rapid pivots.
• Partner with product, compliance, and treasury domain experts to translate emerging requirements into shippable features that meet the needs of Fortune 500 CFOs and treasurers.
• Define engineering practices for the team, establishing coding standards, review processes, testing strategies, and deployment patterns appropriate for a fast-moving, pioneering effort.

What you bring

• 7+ years of software engineering experience with a strong full-stack background in .NET and modern frontend frameworks (Angular, React, or equivalent).
• Over 2 years of experience leading engineering teams, encompassing recruitment, mentoring, and development of engineering groups.
• A demonstrated ability to ship software in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where requirements were unclear or changing rapidly.
• Production background in fintech, digital assets, or blockchain, having delivered systems managing actual financial transactions or digital asset activities.
• Comfort with pioneering work where the playbook hasn't been written yet and you find energy in defining new approaches.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work closely with cross-functional partners including product managers, compliance teams, and external engineering teams.
• A hands-on leadership orientation with willingness and ability to write production code alongside your team, especially in the early stages of team building.

Nice to have

• Deep familiarity with blockchain protocols, digital asset custody, tokenization, or cross-border settlement systems.
• Experience with XRP Ledger, RLUSD, or Ripple's product ecosystem.
• Background in corporate treasury, treasury management systems, or enterprise financial software.
• Experience integrating traditional financial infrastructure with digital asset platforms.
• Familiarity with regulatory requirements for digital asset products in financial services.

What we offer

• Competitive benefits covering physical and mental healthcare, retirement, family forming, and family support.

• Flexible in-office collaboration policy with managers and teams deciding which 10+ days a month to work in-office.
• R&R days to rest and recharge.
• Generous wellness reimbursement and weekly onsite and virtual wellness programming.
