About the team:
Our Data Infrastructure teams are the central node to every team within Robinhood. As a Software Engineer in the Data Infra Team, you'll be building large scale distributed systems to power data driven products, analytics, and decision making.
We build platforms to enable real-time streaming, distributed batch processing, storage and analytics. We heavily rely on open source frameworks and build our platforms on top of them. These platforms power everything from placing a trade on the Robinhood app, to new products like IPO Access, to critical day to day business operations.
Our customers are product engineers, infrastructure engineers, ML engineers, data engineers, data scientists, and analysts across the company. We collaborate closely with them to provide reliable, secure, and delightful platforms that enable them to unlock new ways of solving problems with data.
Our teams are fairly new, and we're just getting started to modernize data infra inside Robinhood. We would love for you to join us as we build the next generation of data platforms.
What you’ll do day-to-day:
- Designing, operating, integrating, and developing data infrastructure platforms
- Collaborating closely with our internal customers to develop highly effective platforms
- Working with open source technologies like Kafka, Flink, Spark, and Hudi (with opportunities to contribute back to the community!)
- Building a phenomenal customer experience for developers using the infrastructure you build
- Mentoring and coaching others to drive successful projects across the team

- 4+ years of software engineering experience.
- Fluent in one or more programming languages (e.g. Go, Python, Java)
- Experience with building scalable distributed systems, both from scratch as well as on open source frameworks.
- Passionate about building platforms for developers and data professionals
- Deep understanding of the tradeoffs between different data tools and technologies
- Strong verbal and communication skills.

Bonus points:

- Proven experience building and handling large scale data systems
- You have opinions on Kafka vs Kinesis, Spark vs Flink
- Contributions to open source projects like Kafka, Spark, Hudi, Flink e.t.c.

We’re looking for more growth-minded and collaborative people to be a part of our journey in democratizing finance for all.
