About the team:

We're a rapidly growing team serving a highly ambitious engineering organization. The Reliability Engineering team provides a specialization within engineering focused on designing, engineering, evolving, and safely making changes to large-scale distributed systems; these systems are often composed of disparate components which are each individually complex. In the process of that work, they are also responsible for analyzing, repairing, and preventing unexpected issues that emerge from such systems.

The preferred location for this position is in or around Robinhood's offices in Menlo Park, CA or Seattle, WA or New York City, NY, 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:
  • Combine software and systems knowledge to engineer distributed systems in a reliable, scalable, and fault-tolerant manner.
  • Continually optimize systems and workflows by improving architecture, infrastructure, automation, CI/CD, and observability.
  • Act as an owner and leader of Robinhood's infrastructure by ensuring project infrastructure needs are met and working proactively with customer teams to help them improve reliability.
  • Provide mentorship both formally and informally to engineers at Robinhood, define and formalize the architecture design process and guide the overall architectural direction.
  • About you:
  • Fluent in one or more programming languages (e.g. Go, Python, Java).
  • Experience authoring and operating high-scale services.
  • Experience with scalable distributed systems, either built from scratch or on public Cloud (e.g. AWS) primitives.
  • A focus on software engineering best practices such as testing, static analysis, continuous integration, delivery, and deployment.
  • Willingness to learn and use new technologies, and to learn the ins-and- outs of the financial system.
  • Bonus points:
  • Familiarity of Python/Django or Go
  • Experience with high-growth startups
  • Strong open source contributions
  • Technologies we use:
  • Python, Django/DRF
  • Go
  • CI/CD and test automation frameworks
  • Container and container orchestration technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Microservice-oriented architectures and related OSS technologies (e.g. Kafka, Celery/RabbitMQ, nginx, Redis, Postgres, Airflow, Consul, etc.)
  • Cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, GCP)
  • 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.
