Ripple Hiring for Product Integration

Meanwhile, Ripple says it’s focused on hiring developers who can help its customers integrate the company’s suite of payment solutions such as xCurrent and the XRP-powered xRapid.

According to Ripple’s director of talent Jim Chauncey-Kelly, the new hires are critical as the company builds strategic partnerships around the world.

“Right now, roles that I’m thinking of that are quite critical are integration engineers. That role essentially helps our customers on-site implement our products globally.”
