What they need
- 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
- 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- Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction beyond your own projects
- Demonstrated ownership of ambiguous, cross-functional projects, with the judgment to make tradeoffs and drive alignment
- 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)
- Working knowledge of blockchain fundamentals - EVM, smart contracts, wallets, on-chain settlement - or a strong appetite to go deep quickly
- Strong instincts for correctness-critical systems - idempotency, reconciliation, and reasoning carefully about failure modes when money is at stake
