About the company
Robinhood is on a mission to democratize finance for all. We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems.
Responsibilities
- Assess vibe-coded prototypes from across the company and make the technical call: harden, rebuild, or redirect, then own the outcome end-to-end.
- Design, build, and ship services on Robinhood's enterprise platforms, meeting the company's full standards for secure, reliable enterprise software.
- Build AI-natively: drive agents through first-pass assessment, porting, and test scaffolding, and ship MCP servers, sub-agents, and agent skills as production artifacts where the solution calls for them.
- Work directly with sponsoring business units (Finance, HR, Legal, Compliance) during each build, translating real workflows into software people actually adopt.
- Deliver clean operational handoffs as part of your definition of done: runbooks, evals, and dashboards.
- Establish the paved patterns with the Enterprise Platforms team: when you solve the same problem twice, make it a platform capability the third time.
- Raise the bar on AI-era engineering quality, including rigorous, teaching-quality review of AI-generated code, your own and others'.
Requirements
- 5+ years of software engineering experience building and running production backend or full-stack systems, with a track record of independently delivering high-ambiguity projects end-to-end.
- Hands-on cloud depth, GCP preferred, including containerized services, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code, with a strong focus on a serverless stack.
- Demonstrated AI-native development: daily fluency with agentic coding tools, experience building LLM-powered applications or agentic workflows, and the judgment to review, harden, and productionize AI-generated code.
- Product sense and scoping discipline: you can find the 20% of a prototype worth keeping, say no to the rest, and finish.
- Exceptional communication with non-engineers: you're comfortable embedded with finance, legal, or HR partners, translating in both directions without losing precision.
- Experience in highly regulated industries, particularly finance or fintech, is strongly preferred.
Conditions
- This role is based in our Menlo Park, CA office, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.
- Performance-driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, equity ownership, and 401(k) matching.
- Best-in-class benefits to fuel your work, including 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents.
- Lifestyle wallet — a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more.
- Employer-paid life & disability insurance, fertility benefits, and mental health benefits.
- Time off to recharge including company holidays, paid time off, sick time, parental leave, and more!
- Exceptional office experience with catered meals, events, and comfortable workspaces.
