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 builders and sharp problem-solvers who are wired to deliver great outcomes. Robinhood isn’t a place for complacency, it’s where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. 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!

As a Senior Software Developer, you will focus on building and scaling our developer infrastructure.
