Ripjar specialises in the development of software and data products that help governments and organisations combat serious financial crime. Our technology is used to identify criminal activity such as money laundering and terrorist financing, and enables organisations to enforce sanctions at scale to help combat rogue entities and state actors.
Team mission:
Our engineering team builds software that makes the world a safer place. We work collectively to use technology, creativity and engineering best practice to solve problems that nobody else can.
What you'll be doing:
We are looking for an individual with industrial or commercial experience in data processing systems to come in and add value to this team. Ripjar values Engineers who are thoughtful and thorough problem solvers who are able to learn new technologies, ideas and paradigms quickly. You will be contributing production quality code and unit-tests to our Data Collection Hub and contributing improvements to the test and build pipelines
Key Tasks:
Technology Stack
The specific technical skills you possess aren’t as important to us as the ability to understand complex systems and get to the heart of problems. We do, however, expect you to be fluent in at least one programming language, have at least two years experience working with moderately complex software systems in production and have a curiosity and interest in learning more.
Why we think you’ll love it here
“Diversity is essential in the way we operate. Having people from different backgrounds, genders and experiences ensures that we make decisions with a truly global perspective. Diversity gives us strength in our technology, analysis and relationships.” - Maria Cox, Head of People Operations
