Define and drive the technical roadmap for Robinhood's Developer Infrastructure, owning the Bazel‑based monorepo, remote build execution cluster, and large‑scale CI/CD pipelines, while setting standards for language runtimes and developer tooling across Python, Go, TypeScript, iOS and Android.
10+ years of engineering experience at a Senior Staff/Principal level, deep expertise with Bazel and massive monorepo build systems, proven ability to run CI/CD at scale, strong fluency in Go or Python (with broader familiarity in TypeScript and mobile environments), and solid background in distributed systems, Kubernetes, and cloud.
The role underpins the productivity of thousands of Robinhood engineers, enabling fast, reliable builds and deployments, and fuels the Agentic Developer Velocity initiative that aims to multiply engineering output through AI‑driven tools.
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.
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 Developer Infrastructure org is the engine behind Robinhood's entire engineering organization — a collection of tightly integrated teams whose collective mission is to make every engineer at Robinhood faster, more reliable, and exponentially more productive. The org spans four major teams: DevX (Developer Experience), TestX (Test Infrastructure), Backend Platform, and Mobile Platform. DevX owns Robinhood's monorepo and Bazel-based build infrastructure — the critical layer between a developer writing code and that code being ready to ship — along with the company's full CI/CD pipeline and remote build execution cluster. TestX owns the infrastructure behind Robinhood's entire test experience: the integration test environments, and personal development environments that serve as miniature simulations of the full Robinhood system, giving engineers a safe, isolated space to test their code end-to-end before it ever touches production. Backend Platform and Mobile Platform own the core language runtimes, libraries, IDEs, and developer toolchains across Python, Go, TypeScript, Swift, and Android. Together, these teams share a single north star: leveraging AI and agentic systems to fundamentally transform Robinhood's software development lifecycle — making every engineer dramatically more productive and the entire org a force multiplier for the business.
As the Senior Staff Software Engineer, Developer Infrastructure, you are the technical driver of this entire org — the Uber Tech Lead unifying DevX, TestX, Backend Platform, and Mobile Platform under one cohesive technical vision. Your primary focus will be DevX, owning the technical direction of Robinhood's most critical build and developer infrastructure. But your influence stretches far wider: you will be a driving force in weaving AI and agentic development deeply into every layer of the software development lifecycle — from intelligent code review and automated build pipelines to agentic coding systems that multiply what each engineer can ship. This is a rare opportunity to shape not just how Robinhood builds software today, but what engineering velocity looks like for the entire industry!
