The opportunity

Our mission is to democratize finance for all. An estimated $124 trillion of assets will be inherited by younger generations in the next two decades.

What you'll do

  • Own service mesh architecture end-to-end: standardize and evolve Robinhood's Istio and Envoy deployment, eliminate deprecated communication patterns, and build the networking foundation for multi-region operation

  • Drive Kubernetes compute platform evolution: define the long-term direction for cluster lifecycle, scheduling strategy, control plane architecture, and multi-region resiliency across Robinhood's entire compute fleet

  • Redesign infrastructure provisioning: transform Terraform from a collection of ad-hoc configurations into a scalable, self-service platform capability that enables rapid region provisioning and developer autonomy

  • Operate with source-level depth: diagnose and resolve issues at the Kubernetes API machinery, etcd, Envoy xDS, and Terraform provider layer, and contribute upstream where it serves the platform

  • Define technical direction across teams: produce architecture proposals, lead design reviews, and drive cross-functional alignment on infrastructure decisions that affect every engineering organization at Robinhood
