What you'll own

Design, build, and operate backend services that mint, custody, and settle tokenized equities on multiple blockchains, and own end‑to‑end delivery of large, complex distributed‑system projects.

What they're looking for

5+ years of software engineering experience with large‑scale distributed systems, strong backend skills in Go/Python/Java and cloud‑native tech (Kafka, Postgres, Kubernetes), plus a solid grasp of correctness‑critical design and a working knowledge or strong appetite for blockchain fundamentals.

Why this role matters

The role powers Robinhood’s Tokenization team to make equity markets tradable 24/7 on decentralized exchanges, linking traditional brokerage infrastructure with on‑chain assets, which is central to the company’s mission to democratize finance.

Best suited to

A senior engineer who thrives on high‑impact, cross‑functional projects, enjoys building fault‑tolerant, audit‑ready systems, mentors others, and is eager to dive deep into blockchain technology.

About this role

Join us in building the future of finance.

Our mission is to democratize finance for all. An estimated $124 trillion of assets will be inherited by younger generations in the next two decades. The largest transfer of wealth in human history. If you’re ready to be at the epicenter of this historic cultural and financial shift, keep reading.

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 Tokenization team's mission is to bring both public and private equity to be tradable 24/7 on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) across the Robinhood Chain. We work at the intersection of blockchain technology, financial market infrastructure, and modern distributed systems - with a focus on accessibility, security, and scalability. Equity markets have been closed nights and weekends for a century; we're building the infrastructure that changes that.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and build the core systems that issue, custody, and settle tokenized equities on-chain and keep them in sync with traditional brokerage and ledger systems. You'll lead technically complex projects end to end, make architectural decisions on a foundational Robinhood initiative, and work in a domain where correctness is non-negotiable - the systems you build move real customer assets, continuously, across multiple chains and jurisdictions.

This role are based in either our Menlo Park, Toronto or New York city offices, 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. 

What you’ll do

  • Design, build, and operate the backend services that mint, custody, and settle tokenized equities across leading blockchains, with correctness and auditability as hard requirements
  • Own large, technically complex projects end to end - design, implementation, rollout, and operating what you ship in a 24/7 system
  • 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
  • Partner with product, compliance, legal, and platform teams to turn regulatory constraints into workable system design
  • Raise the technical bar through design reviews, code reviews, and hands-on mentorship

What you bring

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including a track record of delivering large-scale distributed systems in production
  • Expertise in backend development with Go, Python, or Java, and deep familiarity with cloud-native architecture (Kafka, Postgres, Kubernetes, or equivalents)
  • Strong instincts for correctness-critical systems - idempotency, reconciliation, and reasoning carefully about failure modes when money is at stake
  • Demonstrated ownership of ambiguous, cross-functional projects, with the judgment to make tradeoffs and drive alignment
  • Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction beyond your own projects
  • Working knowledge of blockchain fundamentals - EVM, smart contracts, wallets, on-chain settlement - or a strong appetite to go deep quickly

What we offer

  • Challenging, high-impact work to grow your career
  • Performance driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, equity ownership, and 401(k) matching
  • Top Tier benefits to fuel your work, including 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents
  • Access to the best AI tools on the market and continuous AI skill-building for every employee, technical or not
  • Lifestyle wallet - a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more
  • Employer-paid life & disability insurance, fertility benefits, and mental health benefits
  • Time off to recharge including company holidays, paid time off, sick time, parental leave, and more!
  • Exceptional office experience with catered meals, events, and comfortable workspaces.

In addition to the base pay range listed below, this role is also eligible for bonus opportunities + equity + benefits.
