About the team + role

We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. We’re looking for bold thinkers. Sharp problem-solvers. Builders who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood isn’t a place for complacency, it’s where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. We’re a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards.

The Retirement Accounts team is focused on building a new government-backed investing platform designed to expand access to financial tools for the next generation. This team partners closely with internal engineering groups and external government stakeholders to design secure systems, integrate sensitive data sources, and deliver a reliable product that supports long-term financial participation. You’ll join a group working on a high-visibility initiative with meaningful business and societal impact!

As a Senior Software Engineer you will design and build core backend systems for a new standalone application, separate from the existing Robinhood app. You’ll work on services that integrate government data, support employer contribution features, and ensure high standards for data security and system reliability. This role requires close collaboration with engineers across multiple teams to deliver a scalable platform and support ongoing feature development after launch!

This role is based in our New York, NY offices, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.

At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams.

What you’ll do

  • Design, build, and maintain backend services using technologies such as Python or Go to support a new financial application
