About the team

+ role We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the worlds biggest financial problems Were looking for bold thinkers Sharp problem-solvers

Builders who are wired to make an impact Robinhood isnt a place for complacency, its where ambitious people do the best work of their careers Were a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do

Expectations are high, and so are the rewards.

The Capacity & Efficiency Engineering team builds the software that manages, governs, and reduces Robinhoods AWS cloud spend, operating at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, data engineering, and FinOps

The team owns the full lifecycle of cloud cost: the data platforms that make spend transparent and attributable, the anomaly detection and forecasting systems that make it predictable, the automation that continuously rightsizes infrastructure at fleet scale, and the capacity planning and commitment strategy that keep a bursty, latency-sensitive trading platform both reliable and cost-effective

Our work carries CEO-level visibility and has already driven millions of dollars in annualized savings We partner closely with Data Science, Infrastructure, Finance, and product engineering teams across Robinhood to turn cost insight into real financial outcomes.

As a Staff Software Engineer on the team, you will serve as the technical lead for the Capacity arm: setting engineering direction, owning the most complex systems, and raising the bar for how the team builds and operates

You will design the platforms that attribute cloud costs to their real consumers, catch spend regressions before they compound, and forecast future demand and unit economics

Just as importantly, you will build the systems that act on those insights: automation that safely optimizes production infrastructure, and tooling that keeps our commitment portfolio matched to actual usage

You will work directly with senior leadership and partner organizations to translate complex cost data into clear accountability This is a role for an engineer who leads from the front technically while shaping the direction of a team that operates at the highest levels of the company.
