With more than 40 years of experience supporting some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated companies, Ripple Treasury integrates a treasury command center into Ripple’s technology stack—giving corporates the ability to move, manage, and optimize liquidity in real-time, across traditional and digital assets, under one expanded umbrella.</p> <p><strong>THE WORK:</strong></p> <p>This is an engineering-first role with a coaching dimension—not the other way around. You will spend the majority of your time doing hands-on observability and reliability engineering work: building instrumentation, designing alert configurations, authoring Terraform, and troubleshooting production systems. Alongside that, you will coach and consult with stream-aligned product teams, helping them build operational maturity over time.</p> <p>You will join Ripple’s Technical Operations team and work across Azure (80%) and AWS (20%) environments supporting infrastructure that is predominantly Windows-based (80%), handling significant payment volume for enterprise treasury customers. The incident management program you will help build is early-stage—you will be establishing practices, not inheriting a mature playbook.</p> <p><br><strong>WHAT YOU’LL DO:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Observability Engineering</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li>Design and implement monitoring, alerting, and dashboards in New Relic (APM, Infrastructure, Logs, Synthetics) across Azure and AWS; write NRQL queries for troubleshooting, analysis, and reporting.</li> <li>Define and implement SLOs/SLIs and error budgets; coach teams on using them to balance feature velocity with reliability and communicate system health to stakeholders.</li> <li>Lead alert noise reduction and signal quality engineering—tune thresholds, eliminate false positives, and ensure every alert is actionable.</li> <li>Optimize observability costs through log ingestion management, pipeline rules, and New Relic configuration governance.</li> <li>Partner with engineering teams to improve observability maturity: structured logging, metrics instrumentation (RED/USE methods), distributed tracing, and effective dashboard patterns.</li> </ul> <h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Infrastructure & IaC</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li>Develop and maintain Terraform infrastructure as code for provisioning and managing monitoring resources, alert configurations, and observability infrastructure—this is a primary engineering responsibility, not an occasional task.</li> <li>Establish and enforce IaC governance standards for observability infrastructure across teams, providing a repeatable, auditable model for how monitoring resources are managed.</li> <li>Author and troubleshoot Azure DevOps pipelines; support teams with deployment visibility, change tracking, and release hygiene as it relates to production reliability.</li> </ul> <h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Incident Management</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li>Administer and configure Incident.IO: alert routing, notification workflows, Slack and OpsGenie integration, and runbook management—operationalizing what exists today and expanding from there.</li> <li>Build out incident management foundations that are largely yours to establish: PIR/postmortem processes, on-call rotation design, escalation policies, incident severity classification, and response playbooks.</li> <li>Track and report on MTTR, MTTD, and incident frequency; identify trends and drive continuous improvement in partnership with engineering teams.</li> <li>Respond to and debrief on production incidents—providing real-time troubleshooting support and facilitating structured post-incident reviews.</li> </ul> <h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Cross-Functional Enablement</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li>Enable stream-aligned engineering teams to adopt improved observability and incident management practices through workshops, consultation, and hands-on guidance.</li> <li>Collaborate with the Subsystems Platform Team to translate common needs into self-service observability and incident management capabilities.</li> <li>Build lasting team competency through documentation, training materials, and knowledge-sharing sessions that outlast any individual engagement.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <div> <p><strong>WHAT YOU'LL BRING: </strong></p> </div> <div> <ul> <li> <div> <h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Core SRE Experience</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li>7+ years in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Platform Engineering with a strong focus on observability and production operations.</li> <li>Proven ability to deliver hands-on engineering work while coaching and mentoring teams—comfortable swit
