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 Software Engineer, you’ll build and own backend services, infrastructure, and data systems that support Robinhood’s next-generation crypto, web3, and wallet offerings. You’ll develop innovative solutions to deliver a best-in-class trading experience for cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets-including perpetual futures-to customers worldwide, while solving complex scalability 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.\nThese roles are based in either our Menlo Park, or New York City offices, with in-person 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\nDesign, build, test, and deploy scalable backend services and infrastructure across Robinhood Wallet, Tokenization, and Web3 platform systems, with correctness and auditability as hard requirements.\nBuild 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.\nDevelop product-facing features and platform enhancements that meet strict correctness and scalability standards.\nIdentify and implement improvements to system performance, engineering productivity, and risk reduction.\nCollaborate closely with product, compliance, client, platform teams, and external partners to deliver impactful technical solutions.\nWhat you bring\n2+ years of experience in software development.\nExpertise in backend development using languages such as Go, Python, or Java, with a solid grasp of cloud-native architectures.\nStrong grasp of system design, data modeling, and software engineering fundamentals.\nCare for correctness-critical systems-idempotency, reconciliation, and reasoning carefully about failure modes when money is at stake.\nStrong ownership mindset, with a track record of delivering high-quality projects end to end in cross-functional environments and raising team-wide technical standards.\nProven ability to simplify complex problems, make sound tradeoffs, and drive alignment across diverse stakeholders.\nInterest in blockchain fundamentals-EVM, smart contracts, wallets, on-chain settlement-or a strong appetite to go deep quickly.\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. For other locations not listed, compensation can be discussed with your recruiter during the interview process.\nBase Pay Range:\nZone 1 (Menlo Park, CA; New York, NY; Bellevue, WA; Washington, DC)\n$166,000—$195,000 USD\nZone 2 (Denver, CO; Westlake, TX; Chicago, IL)\n$147,000—$172,000 USD\nZone 3 (Lake Mary, FL; Clearwater, FL; Gainesville, FL)\n$130,000—$152,000 USD\nClick here to learn more about our Total Rewards, which vary by region and entity.\nIf our mission energizes you and you’re ready to build the future of finance, we look forward to seeing your application.\nAI Usage Disclosure: Robinhood uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of our recruiting process.
