Please state the job location and include the keywords REMOTE, INTERNS and/or VISA when the corresponding sort of candidate is welcome. When remote work is not an option, include ONSITE.

Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company—no recruiting firms or job boards. Only one post per month, please. If it isn't a household name, explain what your company does.

Commenters: please don't reply to job posts to complain about something. It's off topic here.

Readers: please only email submitters if you personally are interested in the job—no recruiters or sales calls.

Ripple | San Francisco, CA or REMOTE | full-time

Hi, I'm a C++ software engineer at Ripple. I work on the Ripple XRP Ledger, a peer-to-peer decentralized payment server (see https://github.com/ripple/rippled).

We're looking to hire a Senior C++ Software Engineer. The official ad is here: https://ripple.com/company/careers/all-jobs/#senior-software...

The team knows the C++ language well. Two members regularly attend committee meetings and one member has made substantial contributions to the language. If you like working with C++, you'll be very happy here. We use `14 and intend to move to `17 soon.

Our software is cross platform, and you're welcome to use your preferred tools. The team is split pretty evenly across Windows, Linux, and Mac.

We're a "remote first" team, spread across the U.S. Almost all communication is done through slack/email/skype.

Ripple is growing fast. We've got great funding, and a great team. Feel free to email me with any questions: determan at ripple.com (My name is Scott).

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "remote first", given that you also have a SF office?

I realize the two concepts aren't necessarily incompatible, but I'm curious how you avoid preferential treatment for non-remote workers. For example, you advertise "Fully-stocked kitchen with organic snacks, beverages and coffee drinks" for people working out of your SF office, so I'm curious if/how you show equivalent love to your remote workers.

I first heard the term "remote first" from a stack overflow blog post: https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/02/08/means-remote-first-com...

The key takeaway for me was: Remote-first means working remote is the default. It means making sure your remote employees are as much a part of the team as those in the office.

The team I work with - the rippled team - is 100% remote. Other teams within ripple work mostly onsite.
