Software Developer, TestX

Join a leading fintech company that’s democratizing finance for all.

Robinhood Markets was founded on a simple idea: that our financial markets should be accessible to all. With customers at the heart of our decisions, Robinhood and its subsidiaries and affiliates are lowering barriers and providing greater access to financial information. Together, we are building products and services that help create a financial system everyone can participate in.

With growth as the top priority...

The business is seeking curious, growth-minded thinkers to help shape our vision, structures and systems; playing a key-role as we launch into our ambitious future. If you’re invigorated by our mission, values, and drive to change the world — we’d love to have you apply.

About the team + role

The Apollo team provides a centrally-managed, community-supported platform that integrates closely with each step of the development workflow at Robinhood. We define a set of standards and configuration that all new applications should follow. By implementing this interface, services immediately gain access to a streamlined, end-to-end developer workflow supported by Apollo that Robinhoodies can use to safely and effectively develop, ship, and validate features.

The team focuses on three specific areas:

1. Personal Development Environments: isolated production-like environments that allow engineers and non-engineers alike to experiment and explore.
2. Integration Testing: end-to-end, cross-service testing that runs on every diff and gates lands to master.
3. Load Testing: Delivering a comprehensive framework for executing load tests and identifying service bottlenecks across Robinhood.

What you’ll do

• Design large scale systems within a team, making the right tradeoffs for risk and long-term maintainability.
• Build strong working relationships with Robinhood infrastructure, platform and service teams to improve testing and quality coverage.
• Proactively identify and drive optimizations and improvements to the infrastructure and systems.
• Mentor and train junior engineers on the team.

What you bring

• Experience building and leading the design and implementation of critical infrastructure systems and services in a microservices architecture.
• Experience working on Kubernetes and familiarity with cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Exposure with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins or Buildkite.
• Passion for building solutions to counter significant challenges related to scalability.

We’re looking for more growth-minded and collaborative people to be a part of our journey in democratizing finance for all. If you’re ready to give 100% in helping us achieve our mission—we’d love to have you apply even if you feel unsure about whether you meet every single requirement in this posting. At Robinhood, we're looking for people invigorated by our mission, values, and drive to change the world, not just those who simply check off all the boxes.
