About the Role & Team

The Cryptographic Services & Infrastructure team secures and manages cryptographic keys and enables Robinhood engineering teams to safely leverage core capabilities like encryption and decryption.

Join a high-impact team responsible for protecting some of Robinhood's most sensitive financial and customer data! In this role, you will help build and operationalize Robinhood's new in-house card-processing service—a critical initiative that brings core capabilities in-house and offers meaningful ownership across software, infrastructure, security, and operations. While prior cryptography or security experience is highly preferred, we are excited to empower strong engineers with a passion for security to learn and grow their skills on the job.

  • Write clean, maintainable production code and build operational tooling across software, infrastructure, and security controls.
  • Collaborate with internal engineering teams to support migrations, drive adoption of shared cryptographic capabilities, and ensure safe system design.
  • Participate in a rotating on-call schedule to maintain high availability, security, and operational reliability as processing volume grows.

What you bring

  • Experience building, operating, or supporting production services, distributed systems, or infrastructure.
  • Proficiency writing production code in at least one modern programming language (such as Python, Go, Java, C#, or C++) with a strong ability to reason about complex systems.
  • Comfort working across multiple technical domains, including software development, infrastructure, and operational reliability.
  • Clear and concise communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to explain technical decisions and proactively collaborate when facing challenges.
  • Curiosity and willingness to learn security engineering principles and participate in a light on-call rotation.

Bonus points

  • Prior experience in site reliability engineering (SRE), platform engineering, or cloud security.
  • Familiarity with key management, secrets management, or core cryptographic concepts (such as symmetric encryption or public/private key pairs).
  • Experience handling sensitive financial, payment, or card data in regulated environments.
  • Background in supporting internal customer migrations or driving platform adoption across engineering teams.

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.
  • Best-in-class benefits to fuel your work, including 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents.
  • Lifestyle wallet — a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more.
