Software Engineer Intern, RippleX Quality Enforcers (Summer 2026)
Ripple is building a world where value moves like information does today through their crypto solutions. As a Software Engineer Intern on the Quality Enforcers team, you will develop tools and services that enhance the XRP Ledger ecosystem, applying software engineering and distributed systems concepts to improve validation and analysis of system behavior.
Responsibilities
- Build and implement backend tools and components of a multi‑agent system that exercise rippled, orchestrate tests from high‑level, natural‑language requests, and verify behavior across different scenarios
- Build intelligent data workflows and pipelines over metrics, logs, traces, ledger data, and mainnet telemetry to compare runs to baselines and surface clear, actionable signals (anomalies, trends, hotspots)
- Use AI-assisted techniques if they provide customer value. This includes anomaly detection on time-series metrics and logs. It also involves natural-language summaries that make sophisticated run results clear for developers
- Collaborate with engineers on building, code reviews, and documentation, and help refine the heuristics for what “good” looks like for XRPL reliability and performance
