About the role

Backend-focused software engineer role at Robinhood building and owning services, infrastructure, and data systems to support crypto, web3, and wallet offerings with emphasis on correctness, scalability, and cross-chain integrations.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, test, and deploy scalable backend services and infrastructure across Robinhood Wallet, Tokenization, and Web3 platform systems, with correctness and auditability as hard requirements.
  • Build the connective tissue between traditional market infrastructure (brokerage, ledgers, corporate actions) and on-chain systems, including smart contract integrations, chain indexers, and DEX trade flows.
  • Develop product-facing features and platform enhancements that meet strict correctness and scalability standards.
  • Identify and implement improvements to system performance, engineering productivity, and risk reduction.
  • Collaborate closely with product, compliance, client, platform teams, and external partners to deliver impactful technical solutions.

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of experience in software development.
  • Expertise in backend development using languages such as Go, Python, or Java, with a solid grasp of cloud-native architectures.
  • Strong grasp of system design, data modeling, and software engineering fundamentals.
  • Care for correctness-critical systems—idempotency, reconciliation, and reasoning carefully about failure modes when money is at stake.
  • Strong ownership mindset, with a track record of delivering high-quality projects end to end in cross-functional environments and raising team-wide technical standards.
  • Proven ability to simplify complex problems, make sound tradeoffs, and drive alignment across diverse stakeholders.
  • Interest in blockchain fundamentals—EVM, smart contracts, wallets, on-chain settlement—or a strong appetite to go deep quickly.
