Robinhood is seeking a Backend Software Engineer to build and own backend services, infrastructure, and data systems supporting core financial products. You'll solve complex scalability challenges while gaining deep expertise in U.S. financial systems and making direct impact on products used by millions.
The role spans multiple high-impact teams: the Brokerage team owns critical services supporting trading and brokerage infrastructure; the Incentives team drives user growth through strategic incentives and a centralized rewards platform; and the Identity team protects customers through fraud prevention, KYC, and regulatory compliance systems.
Key responsibilities include designing, building, testing, and deploying scalable backend services with emphasis on long-term maintainability; developing product-facing features and platform enhancements meeting strict correctness and scalability standards; identifying and implementing improvements to system performance, engineering productivity, and risk reduction; and collaborating with client teams, cross-functional partners, and external vendors to deliver impactful technical solutions.
You'll need 2+ years of software development experience, a strong track record of delivering large-scope technical projects in cross-functional environments, and commitment to high standards in code quality and review processes. The role is based in either Menlo Park, CA or New York City offices, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week. Robinhood emphasizes in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community.
