Menlo Park, California, United States Robinhood Full time
Become a pivotal member of a forward-thinking fintech organization dedicated to making finance accessible to everyone.

Robinhood Markets was established with a fundamental belief: that financial markets should be open to all. With our customers guiding our decisions, Robinhood and its affiliates are working to eliminate barriers and enhance access to financial insights. Together, we are developing innovative products and services that enable a financial ecosystem where everyone can engage.

As we prioritize growth...

The organization is on the lookout for inquisitive, growth-oriented individuals to help shape our vision, frameworks, and systems; playing a crucial role as we embark on our ambitious journey. If our mission, values, and commitment to making a difference resonate with you - we encourage you to consider this opportunity.

About the team + role

We are an expanding team supporting a highly ambitious engineering division. The Reliability Engineering team specializes in designing, developing, evolving, and safely implementing changes to large-scale distributed systems; these systems often consist of various components, each with its own complexities. In this role, you will also be responsible for analyzing, resolving, and preventing unforeseen issues that arise from such systems.

The Reliability team is currently focused on two main areas:
  1. Developing and refining our company-wide software tool that monitors all outages and significant events for the organization. This sophisticated tool enables collaboration among all product and infrastructure teams to identify, address, and track major outages.
  2. Monitoring our most critical business workflows, identifying issues proactively, and ensuring the long-term reliability of these essential processes.
As a Lead Software Architect, you will leverage your software and systems expertise to design distributed systems that are dependable, scalable, and resilient for Robinhood. You will collaborate across the broader infrastructure organization to bring this vision to life.

Our technology stack primarily utilizes Python and Go, implemented through container orchestration technologies like Kubernetes. We also employ microservice-oriented architectures and related open-source technologies (e.g., Kafka, Celery/RabbitMQ, nginx, Redis, Postgres, Airflow, Consul, etc.). Our systems are predominantly hosted on AWS.

This role is aligned with our in-office working environment. Please consult with your recruiter for further details regarding our in-office philosophy and expectations.
What you'll do
  • Design and implement new features and services with an emphasis on high availability, low latency, and scalability.
  • Continuously enhance systems and workflows by optimizing architecture, infrastructure, automation, CI/CD, and observability.
  • Take ownership and leadership of Robinhood's infrastructure by ensuring project infrastructure requirements are met and proactively collaborating with customer teams to enhance reliability.
  • Provide mentorship both formally and informally to developers at Robinhood, define and formalize the architecture design process, and guide the overall architectural direction.
What you bring
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., Go, Python, Java).
  • Experience in authoring and managing high-scale services.
  • Familiarity with scalable distributed systems, whether built from the ground up or utilizing public Cloud (e.g., AWS) primitives.
  • A commitment to software engineering best practices such as testing, static analysis, continuous integration, delivery, and deployment.
  • Experience with Python/Django/Go and AWS is a plus.
What we offer
  • Competitive compensation structure focused on pay equity.
  • Comprehensive health insurance coverage for employees with substantial coverage for dependents.
  • Annual lifestyle wallet for personal wellness, learning, and development.
  • Lifetime maximum benefit for family planning and fertility support.
  • Dedicated mental health resources for employees and eligible dependents.
  • Generous time-off policies including company holidays, paid time off, sick leave, parental leave, and more.
  • A vibrant office atmosphere with catered meals, fully stocked kitchens, and location-specific commuter benefits.
Compensation for the successful candidate will depend on various job-related factors, including education, training, experience, location, business needs, or market demands.

We are seeking more growth-oriented and collaborative individuals to join us on our mission to democratize finance for all. If you are ready to contribute wholeheartedly to our mission, we encourage you to explore this opportunity, even if you feel uncertain about meeting every single requirement in this posting. At Robinhood, we value individuals who are inspired by our mission, values, and commitment to making a difference, not just those who meet every criterion.

Robinhood is committed to fostering a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences and provides equal opportunity for all applicants and employees. We are dedicated to building a company that reflects a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We believe that inclusivity enhances our work and work environment for everyone. Additionally, Robinhood offers reasonable accommodations for candidates upon request and respects applicants' privacy rights. Please review the specific Robinhood Privacy Policy applicable to the country where you are applying.
