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.\nAbout the team + role\nWe 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.\nAs a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll architect, build, and scale the backend services, infrastructure, and data systems that support Robinhood’s next-generation crypto, web3, and wallet offerings. You’ll provide technical leadership to deliver a best-in-class trading experience for cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets-including perpetual futures-to customers worldwide, solving complex distributed systems and correctness challenges in an environment where the systems you build move real customer assets continuously around the clock.\nThe Robinhood Wallet team’s mission is to democratize access to financial services worldwide by leveraging DeFi protocols and Robinhood Chain. The team builds non-custodial consumer products, self-custody experiences, and seamless cross-chain trading capabilities.\nThe 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. Equity markets have been closed nights and weekends for a century; the team builds the connective tissue between traditional market infrastructure and on-chain systems-issuance, custody, and settlement-to change that.\nThe Robinhood Chain team designs and scales the underlying decentralized infrastructure across Robinhood. The team continuously improves Robinhood Chain to provide a best-in-class decentralized platform for trading real-world assets, builds specialized smart contracts, and provides infrastructure services for other Robinhood teams that rely on DeFi.\nThis role is based in our Menlo Park, CA and New York, NY offices, with hybrid attendance expected at least 3 days per week.\nAt 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.\nWhat you’ll do\nArchitect, build, and operate resilient, highly scalable distributed systems and backend services across Robinhood Wallet, Tokenization, and Web3 platform infrastructure, with correctness, fault tolerance, and auditability as hard requirements.\nDrive the architectural strategy and technical execution bridging traditional financial infrastructure (brokerage, ledgers, corporate actions) with on-chain systems, including smart contract integrations, chain indexers, and DEX trade flows.\nProvide technical leadership on large-scope, ambiguous engineering initiatives, breaking down complex multi-quarter efforts into clear architectural milestones.\nPartner closely with Product, Compliance, Security, and cross-functional leadership to define technical roadmaps and deliver high-impact solutions.\nChampion engineering excellence by mentoring engineers, leading rigorous design and code reviews, and raising the bar for system reliability, observability, and operational rigor across teams.\nWhat you bring\n5+ years of experience in software development, with a proven track record of designing, building, and maintaining distributed systems at scale.\nDeep expertise in backend development using languages such as Go, Python, or Java, alongside advanced knowledge of cloud-native, event-driven architectures.\nStrong mastery of system design, distributed data modeling, concurrency control, and scalability tradeoffs.\nDeep care and architectural experience with correctness-critical systems-idempotency, financial reconciliation, ledger consistency, and designing for failure modes when money is at stake.\nDemonstrated technical leadership experience-driving alignment across cross-functional partners, unblocking complex technical roadblocks, and mentoring other engineers.\nStrong interest or hands-on experience with blockchain fundamentals-EVM, smart contracts, wallets, on-chain settlement, or decentralized infrastructure-and an appetite to tackle cutting-edge technical problems.\nWhat we offer\nChallenging, high-impact work to grow your career\nPerformance driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, equity ownership, and 401(k) matching\nBest in class benefits to fuel your work, including 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents\nLifestyle wallet - a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more\nEmployer-paid life & disability insurance, fertility benefits, and mental health benefits\nTime off to recharge including company holidays, paid time off, sick time, parental leave, and more!\nExceptional office experience with catered meals, events, and comfortable workspaces\nIn addition to the base pay range listed below, this role is also eligible for bonus opportunities + equity + benefits.\nBase 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. The expected base pay range for this role is based on the location where the work will be performed and is aligned to one of 3 compensation zones.
