The Work
As a Staff Engineer (Mobile), 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
* Mobile development expertise: You have solid experience building high-quality, cross-platform applications for iOS and Android using React Native and TypeScript.
* Native familiarity: While you live in JavaScript, experience with native code (Swift, Kotlin, or Objective-C) to bridge gaps or debug native modules is a significant plus.
* 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.
* Store deployment: Experience managing the release lifecycle - including certificates, signing, and deploying to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store is a big plus.
* Styling proficiency: You have a knack for creating polished mobile interfaces. Experience with Styled Components is a plus, but ultimately, you know how to build layouts that look and feel great on any screen size.
* User-obsessed mindset: You don't just write code; you build products. You are passionate about mobile UX, gestures, and animations. Experience with Figma 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 mobile testing frameworks is highly valued to ensure reliability across devices.
* Performance focus: You understand that a janky app is a bad UX. You keep performance in mind, optimising for smooth animations, fast launch times, and efficient memory usage.
* 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
