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. We're looking for an exceptional Software Engineer to help shape the future of our core platforms, products, and customer experiences. FinTech is one of the most complex and rapidly evolving spaces in technology, and the challenges we're tackling require deep innovation, critical thinking, and scale that don't always have strong precedents.

You'll take on a highly influential role shaping vision and execution across key strategic initiatives. You'll partner with cross-functional leaders, contribute to high-impact decisions, guide complex projects from concept to completion, and mentor others on the team. This is a role for someone who leverages modern tools and cutting-edge methodologies as a core part of how they solve problems, and raises the bar for everyone around them.

This role is based in our Menlo Park, CA, with in-person attendance expected at least three 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, develop, and operate scalable, highly available infrastructure systems that support core product functionality and internal services.
• Build, maintain, and evolve internal platforms, shared services, and tooling that enable reliable, efficient software development, testing, and deployment.
• Own infrastructure components throughout their full lifecycle, including requirements definition, design, implementation, deployment, production support, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to support business-critical workloads, platform capabilities, and system integrations.
• Improve system reliability, performance, observability, and automation
