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. We're looking for an exceptional Software Engineer, Agentic AI to help shape the future of our core platforms, products, and customer experiences. FinTech is one of the most complex and rapidly evolving spaces in technology, and the challenges we're tackling require deep innovation, critical thinking, and scale that don't always have strong precedents.
You'll take on a highly influential role shaping vision and execution across key strategic initiatives. You'll partner with cross-functional leaders, contribute to high-impact decisions, guide complex projects from concept to completion, and mentor others on the team. This is a role for someone who leverages modern tools and cutting-edge methodologies as a core part of how they solve problems, and raises the bar for everyone around them.
This role is based in our Bellevue, WA, with in-person attendance expected at least three days per week.
What you'll do
- Architect and implement distributed and cloud-based systems that support the full machine learning lifecycle - from data ingestion and preprocessing to model training, deployment, and monitoring.
- Develop and maintain robust backend services and APls (RESTful and gRPC) in programming languages such as Python or Go.
- Optimize compute, storage, and data retrieval systems using relational, NoSQL, and vector databases to enable low-latency model inference and intelligent data access.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver Al-driven capabilities in domains such as market data, trading, accounting, authentication, and security.
- Leverage cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS or GCP) and container orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) to manage large-scale compute environments for Al workloads.
- Design and maintain automated Cl/CD workflows to ensure efficient and reliable code delivery.
- Implement model serving and observability systems to monitor performance, ensure fault tolerance, and improve system reliability.
- Apply algorithms and data structures to enhance compute and data efficiency across the ML infrastructure stack.
- Prototype and evaluate new Al tools, frameworks, and system designs to validate concepts and optimize performance prior to large scale rollout.
- Drive continuous improvement by identifying opportunities for scalability, performance, and cost optimization.
- Contribute to open-source projects (where possible) and uphold software engineering best practices including code reviews, automated testing, and version control in an agile environment.
