Professional Services Consultant (technical)

Ripple Ripple · Fintech · Chicago, IL +1 · Service & Delivery

This role is for a Professional Services Consultant (Technical) at Ripple, focusing on configuring and implementing Ripple Treasury solutions for financial institutions. The role involves deep client engagement, data architecture design, advanced SQL engineering (including validation of AI-generated scripts), technical troubleshooting, and client advisory. While AI tools are used to accelerate script creation, the consultant must critically validate and optimize the output. The role requires strong SQL skills, technical aptitude, AI augmentation literacy, and domain expertise in treasury and finance.

What you'd actually do

  1. Discovery & Strategy: Lead deep-dive discovery sessions to uncover client pain points, workflows, and technical requirements.
  2. Solution & Data Architecture: Design the "To-Be" state, determining the optimal configuration of Ripple Treasury. You will be responsible for the structural integrity of the data migration and system integration.
  3. Advanced SQL Engineering: Design and execute complex SQL scripts for data mapping and custom reporting. While we leverage AI tools to accelerate script creation, you will own the validation, optimization, and "sanity-checking" of all code.
  4. Technical Troubleshooting: Act as the Tier 3 point of contact for implementation issues, diagnosing and resolving data-level discrepancies by tracing logic through complex database schemas.
  5. Trusted Advisory: Act as a subject matter expert, guiding clients through treasury best practices and helping them modernize legacy processes using data-driven insights.
