About the team + role
We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world's biggest financial problems. We're looking for bold thinkers. Sharp problem-solvers. Builders who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood isn't a place for complacency, it's where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. We're a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards. The DevX team's mission is to build and operate the core developer infrastructure at Robinhood. Our team owns and scales the systems that thousands of engineers rely on daily, partnering with software developers across the company to make development fast, reliable, and cost-efficient. We are a team that takes pride in technical excellence, platform reliability, and building tools that have an outsized impact on engineering velocity across the entire organization! As a Staff Software Engineer on the DevX team, you will serve as a technical leader for our build and developer infrastructure, driving the strategy and execution of the systems thousands of engineers depend on every day. Your work will span our build systems, CI pipelines, and remote development environments, ensuring engineers can code, test, and build with speed, safety, and reliability at scale. You will collaborate with engineering teams across Robinhood to eliminate developer friction, raise the bar for engineering productivity, and shape the long-term direction of our developer ecosystem. This is a high-visibility opportunity to set new standards of engineering efficiency and mentor the next generation of infrastructure engineers. This role is based in our New York City, NY office, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week. At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams.
