About the team:

Design and develop a scalable and secure cloud foundation for Robinhood.

As a foundational team, Cloud Infrastructure owns and manages Robinhood’s cloud footprint across all the AWS accounts, regions and environments. Robinhood historically has not spent enough time and energy to define environments, regions, AWS accounts, network isolation and security at the core infrastructure level in the cloud. This has often led to incurring huge costs to launch products, putting our business at continuity and security risk.

The mission of this team would be to set Robinhood up for long term security and scalability by redefining and operating the bottom most layer of our stack allowing our products to be scalable, more secure, reliable and serving our international ambitions.

The preferred location for this position is in or around Robinhood's offices in Seattle, WA, Menlo Park, CA, or New York City with in-office work capabilities, as may be required by management, but remote work in limited geographies within the U.S. may be considered. Check with your recruiter for more information.

What you’ll do day-to-day:

  • Design large scale systems within a team, making the right tradeoffs for risk and long-term maintainability.
  • Proactively identify and drive optimizations and improvements to the infrastructure and systems.
  • Lead organization-wide collaboration for the team.
  • Contribute to open source projects.

About you:

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience.
  • You have experience and knowledge on building large scale distributed systems & infrastructure.
  • Experience with AWS or relavant cloud technologies.

Bonus points:

  • Open source contributions within Kubernetes.

Technologies we use:

  • Terraform(core cloud infrastructure shards only)
  • AWS Foundations (SCP, VPC, Networks, Subnets, Compute)
  • Python/Go

The expected salary range for this role is based on the location where the work will be performed and is aligned to one of 3 compensation zones. This role is also eligible to participate in a Robinhood bonus plan and Robinhood’s equity plan.

US Zone 1: $157000 - $185000
US Zone 2: $139000 - $163000
US Zone 3: $122000 - $144000

Base pay for the successful applicant will depend on a variety of job-related factors, which may include education, training, experience, location, business needs, or market demands. You can view comp zones for our US office locations in the table below. For other locations not listed, compensation can be discussed with your recruiter during the interview process.

We’re looking for more growth-minded and collaborative people to be a part of our journey in democratizing finance for all. If you’re ready to give 100% in helping us achieve our mission—we’d love to have you apply even if you feel unsure about whether you meet every single requirement in this posting. At Robinhood, we're looking for people invigorated by our mission, values, and drive to change the world, not just those who simply check off all the boxes.
