About the role

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer responsible for end-to-end feature delivery across Prime backend services and frontend/backoffice surfaces for institutional clients on Robinhood’s Prime platform.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and end-to-end delivery of features across the stack — from Prime backend services (settlement, on-exchange credit, lending, tokenized securities) through to the frontend and backoffice screens clients and ops teams rely on.
  • Own the client- and ops-facing journeys across the institutional lifecycle — onboarding, account configuration, reporting, and the tooling that lets operations run the business safely.
  • Author detailed designs and break work into reviewable steps, making failure states, invariants, and recovery explicit before you ship — on flows where a wrong answer moves real money.
  • Uplevel the team through design-focused code review and mentorship, and move fluidly between backend and frontend as the work demands rather than handing off at a boundary.

Qualifications

  • A track record of independently delivering complex, high-ambiguity projects with long-term impact, operating them in production and owning every line you ship.
  • Strong full-stack range in production — a modern backend (Python/Django and Go) and a component-based frontend (Vue) — with the judgment to know where a given problem is best solved and a willingness to own whatever the feature needs.
  • Hands-on experience building financial systems — user balances, ledgers, risk engines, settlement, onboarding/KYC, or payments — where correctness is non-negotiable and mistakes are expensive.
  • Strong design judgment: enumerate failure paths, name invariants, and point to the constraint, test, or alert that enforces each one.
  • Excellent communication: drive alignment across teams and stakeholders, give substantive design-level review feedback, and mentor engineers to raise the bar.
