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

  • Lead capacity planning and demand forecasting for a latency-sensitive, bursty: production environment, ensuring the platform scales to absorb peak demand without sustained over-provisioning

  • Design and build scalable cost attribution and chargeback systems that: accurately identify true resource consumers across platform and product teams, enabling fair and transparent cost accountability

  • Architect and own automated anomaly detection and governance tooling that: detects cost regressions, routes findings to the correct owning teams, and tracks remediation outcomes end-to-end

  • Partner closely with Data Science to develop and maintain forecasting models,: year-over-year cost projections, and unit economics frameworks (e.g., cloud cost per engaged user) that surface future spend risk proactively

  • Drive Robinhood's AWS contracts and pricing strategy by partnering with: Amazon on reserved capacity, discount models, and on-demand optimization to ensure cost-effective infrastructure investment

  • Shape how the company measures and governs fast-growing AI/ML infrastructure: spend, and apply AI-driven automation to cost operations such as anomaly triage, reporting, and remediation tracking
