If you’re ready to be at the epicenter of this historic cultural and financial shift, keep reading.</p></div><h2><strong>About the team + role</strong></h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The <strong>Storage Platform</strong> team builds and operates the platform that powers database access across Robinhood. We own relational (Postgres/Aurora), key-value (DynamoDB), and caching systems, along with the SDKs, control plane automation, and data plane services that enable safe and reliable access at scale. Our mission is to standardize and strengthen how services connect to storage, improve reliability and performance, and reduce operational overhead through automation. We manage thousands of databases and hundreds of caching clusters supporting millions of users and critical brokerage workloads. Availability is our highest priority — our systems are designed to meet strict uptime targets, including no downtime during market hours.</p>
<p>As a <strong>Senior Software Engineer</strong>, you will build and improve core infrastructure used by many engineering teams, with a focus on reliability, performance, and operational excellence. You’ll deliver key components of data plane and control plane systems (for example: connection pooling, query routing, automation workflows, and observability) and help evolve patterns for safe, consistent database access. You’ll work closely with peers to design pragmatic solutions, reduce toil through automation, and improve how we operate storage systems at scale.</p>
