The new hire will be respon­si­ble for design­ing and build­ing pro­to­type soft­ware solu­tions on top of the pri­vate Rip­ple CBDC Ledger (XRPL technology). 

Who­ev­er gets the job will be tasked with trans­lat­ing cen­tral bank needs into spe­cif­ic soft­ware products. 

The intern will work direct­ly for Ripple’s vice pres­i­dent of Cen­tral Bank Engagements.
