Robinhood is seeking a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to drive the company's global expansion initiatives. The International engineering team's mission is to expand Robinhood's products globally and scale the platform to support millions of new customers in diverse markets.
In this role, you will be a core technical driver, bridging high-performance frontend interfaces with resilient backend distributed systems. You will architect and deliver localized customer experiences—from multi-currency funding and international onboarding to regional asset trading. You will design reusable, extensible platform abstractions that allow Robinhood to scale seamlessly into new international markets while upholding uncompromising standards for security, availability, and compliance.
Key responsibilities include:
- Develop and maintain high-quality frontend interfaces (React/TypeScript) and scale robust backend services (Go/Python)
- Own the technical delivery of critical international capabilities, including localized onboarding funnels, identity verification (KYC/AML), multi-currency funding rails, and region-specific trading experiences
- Build and optimize high-leverage growth mechanisms, localized promotion engines, and user acquisition pipelines to accelerate international market adoption
- Architect modular, scalable frameworks and internationalization (i18n/l10n) services that make expanding to future jurisdictions faster, safer, and more reliable
- Ensure backend services and localized products are built for high availability, low latency, and fault tolerance; implement comprehensive telemetry, automated testing, and participate in production on-call rotations
- Partner closely with Product Management, Product Design, Compliance, Legal, and Platform teams to translate jurisdictional requirements into elegant, user-centric technical solutions
You will lead complex technical designs, raise the engineering bar across the stack, and collaborate side-by-side with cross-functional partners. The role is based in either Menlo Park, CA, New York City, or Toronto, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience designing, building, and operating production systems across the full stack
- Proficiency with modern frontend technologies and frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript) with emphasis on performance, accessibility, and state management
- Strong experience building scalable distributed services in languages such as Go or Python, utilizing relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis), and working with event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka)
- Proven track record of taking complex features from ambiguity through technical design, phased rollout, production validation, and post-launch maintenance
- Deep understanding of RESTful APIs, gRPC, service-oriented architectures, and microservice integration patterns
- Clear, structured communication skills to articulate trade-offs, drive technical consensus across distributed teams, and align with non-technical stakeholders
