Job Description At Ripple, we’re building a world where value moves like information does today. 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. If you’re ready to see your impact and unlock incredible career growth opportunities, join us, and build real world value.
Through RippleX, we support and champion an open community of developers on XRP Ledger (XRPL), so they can advance the solutions and innovation needed to allow businesses, consumers, institutions, and governments to fuel the engine of a new digital economy.
RippleX’s developer growth team focuses on supporting the growth and engagement of the XRPL developer community globally - from onboarding and education, to community building, to project formation and startup acceleration. As part of a $1BN XRP pledge to support builders and developers in the XRPL ecosystem, Ripple has launched several funding programs (Grants and Accelerator) to nurture projects/early-stage startups and accelerate innovation in Web3. This year, RippleX is focused on supporting the expansion of the XRPL community into new geographies and local markets - taking RX’s existing programs like hackathons, grants, accelerators, and replicating them into new geographies.
