Senior Software Developer, Storage

About the team + role

The Storage Team is responsible for some of the most critical database and caching systems at Robinhood. We own and build all things related to Robinhood's relational, non-relational databases, including all things related to caching infrastructure. We utilize and build with technologies such as PostgresSQL, AWS DyanmoDB, Memcached, Redis and Kubernetes among others.

Our work is instrumental to Robinhood as we have workloads that are transaction heavy and real time which presents a host of challenges. You will help scale our storage infrastructure to 100 million users and beyond, and we truly believe that few opportunities like this exist elsewhere. We hope you will join us on this mission.

• Support core backend systems for the team and help build out new greenfield initiatives.
• Partner cross-functionally to ensure teams are set up for success in regards to their testing and use of the product.

What you bring

• Experience building and maintaining storage infrastructure systems, ideally offering relational, non-relational or caching products, that are designed to handle significant scale.
• Experience with C++/Golang/Python.
• Experience mentoring and leading junior engineers.
