I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ripple (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
I chatted with the HR and the CTO to determine if I was a good match and they were what I was looking for. I then got a coding challenge which included using their API. Last stage was shadowing someone on site for a day.

Question 1
Tell me about some of the projects you've done.
What interests you about Ripple.
Pretty standard interview process with initial call, hiring manager, technical and then team interview. Only got through recruiter who was nice and then failed hiring manager call. Didn't make it to technical round and recruiter said there would be one.

I applied online. I interviewed at Ripple in Mar 2026
Interview
Passed phone screening, scheduled 3 45-minute interviews: 1 technical and 2 behavioral interviews the next week. Felt more conversational than strict interviews. There was only 1 question asked during the technical interview in which you were asked to optimize if you could. Behavioral focused on accountability and leadership.
