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 builders and sharp problem-solvers who are wired to deliver great outcomes. Robinhood isn't a place for complacency, it's where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. 

The DevX team's mission is to build and operate the core developer infrastructure at Robinhood. Our team owns and scales the systems that thousands of engineers rely on daily, partnering with software developers across the company to make development fast, reliable, and cost-efficient!

You will manage and optimize monorepo builds with Bazel and own the remote build execution cluster that powers them, and you will scale CI pipelines to be fast, safe, and reliable across thousands of daily builds. You will also improve the developer onboarding experience and provide remote development environments to accelerate development workflows. In this role, you will ensure developers can code, test, and deploy with minimal friction. This is an incredible opportunity to make a massive difference for the entire engineering organization!

This role is based in our New York City or Menlo Park office, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.

At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams.
