About the team + role

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 Data Engineering team builds and maintains the foundational datasets that power decision-making across Robinhood. We design reliable, scalable data systems that support product analytics, growth strategy, financial reporting, experimentation, and machine learning.
