Role
Who you are
- Experience building full stack applications, ideally in Go and React, or strong interest in ramping on these technologies
- Bonus if you come with exposure to internal developer tooling, observability platforms, or service ownership frameworks
- Ability to work across backend-heavy systems with attention to detail in frontend integration
- Collaborative approach with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
- Interest in building platform tools that improve developer experience and operational quality
What the job involves
- The Technical Assurance Platform team’s mission is to build foundational internal tools that enhance service ownership and incident management across Robinhood
- We empower developers and leadership with deep insights into reliability, quality, cost, and operational maturity — all via intelligent internal platforms!
- As a Software Developer, you’ll contribute to our core platforms including a ground-up rebuild of the Service Catalog and enhancements to our SEV (incident) tooling
- This is a full stack role with an emphasis on backend work
- You’ll build systems that surface key operational insights and shape how technical teams across Robinhood manage reliability at scale!
- Develop full stack internal tools that support service cataloging, metadata visibility, and incident response workflows
- Build backend services (primarily in Go) and lightweight frontends (React) that integrate seamlessly with existing systems
- Work closely with stakeholders in infrastructure and platform reliability to ensure tools deliver measurable operational insights
- Contribute to systems that support post-incident workflows, on-call ownership visibility, SEV tracking, and leadership reporting
- Collaborate within your Toronto-based team while interfacing with global partners in reliability engineering
Our take
For years, traditional brokers ruled the share trading realm, charging hefty fees that locked out everyday investors. Robinhood emerged as a disruptor, offering commission-free trading and opening the door to a new generation. Its innovative model thrives on premium features like increased buying power and extended trading hours, attracting a younger audience drawn to meme stocks like AMC and GameStop.
But Robinhood's not just about quick thrills. The company claims its mission lies in catering to "the unmet needs of the next generation," evidenced by its "Robinhood Retirement" launch, targeting gig-economy workers often excluded from financial planning. This commitment to accessibility aligns with its core values.
However, 2023 brought unexpected turbulence, as Robinhood became entangled in the FTX cryptocurrency exchange bankruptcy scandal when it emerged that the US Department of Justice seized hundreds of millions of dollars of the company's shares tied to FTX founder Bankman-Fried. Despite these challenges, Robinhood successfully bought back the missing stock, and its impact on democratizing finance remains undeniable.
