What the job involves
- At Robinhood, Quality Engineering (QE) is a critical function within our broader engineering organization. We serve as the final line of defense for product quality—empowering teams to ship confidently by embedding robust test strategies, running critical end-to-end checks, and maintaining automation systems that scale with our product velocity
- Our mission is to uphold a high bar for customer experience, especially during P0 launches, through a mix of technical expertise, test execution, and cross-functional collaboration
- As a Staff Quality Engineer, you will support high-impact product launches by designing test strategies, executing manual and automated testing, and partnering with our contractor team on regression test cycles
- This role requires someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, cares deeply about the customer experience, and is eager to shape the test infrastructure behind Robinhood’s iOS, Android, and Web apps
- Own the quality of new features, including test planning, execution, and feedback throughout the development cycle
- Define and implement test strategies for P0 product launches, including both frontend and backend validation
- Perform manual and automated testing, with a focus on end-to-end functionality
- Automate mobile/web E2E test cases
- Build test coverage that accurately reflects the user experience, including functional, regression, and exploratory testing
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.
