Software Engineer II Authentication & Authorization

London, UK

As a Software Engineer II on Ripple's Authentication & Authorisation platform team, you'll contribute to how identity works across our growing portfolio of payment, custody, and liquidity products. Our products have grown up using different identity providers and protocols, and we're now bringing them together into a unified, consistent experience — while also building the fine-grained authorisation primitives that teams across Ripple rely on every day.

AI tooling is core to how our team works day-to-day — coding assistants, LLM-based workflows, and agentic tools across design, development, and operations. We're looking for people who already use these fluently, not just curious about them.

• Build and ship features and components within Ripple's identity platform, with guidance from more senior engineers on the team
• Contribute to platform services running on Kubernetes, learning the patterns we use for reliability, observability, and secure secret management
• Participate in design discussions and code review, bringing thoughtful questions and a willingness to learn
• Help maintain and improve existing services, including investigating issues and contributing fixes
• Grow toward independent ownership of well-scoped projects over time

• Backend engineering experience in Golang or Java, with some exposure to building or running services in Kubernetes
• Demonstrated ability to deliver well-scoped features in a production environment
• Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants and LLM-based tools as part of your day-to-day engineering workflow
• Comfortable communicating clearly with teammates, asking questions, and contributing to written technical discussions

• Exposure to identity, authentication, or authorisation systems in any capacity
• Familiarity with modern authentication protocols such as OAuth 2.0, OIDC, or SAML
• Experience working on platform or infrastructure teams

• Competitive salary, bonuses, and equity
• Competitive benefits that cover physical and mental healthcare, retirement, family forming, and family support
• Employee giving match

• R&R days so you can rest and recharge
• Generous wellness reimbursement and weekly onsite & virtual programming
• Generous vacation policy - work with your manager to take time off when you need it
• Industry-leading parental leave policies. Family planning benefits.
• Catered lunches, fully-stocked kitchens with premium snacks/beverages, and plenty of fun events

Benefits listed above are for full-time employees.
