Role
Who you are
- Experience building and scaling infrastructure tools or platforms within an AWS cloud environment, specifically utilizing EKS, VPCs, and subnets
- Proficiency in software development using Go or Python, along with a deep understanding of Kubernetes-native architectures
- Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, particularly Terraform and Terragrunt, and GitOps workflows using ArgoCD
- Ability to collaborate with multiple engineering teams to understand their infrastructure needs and translate them into clean platform requirements
What the job involves
- The Provisioning team's mission is to build the self-serve platform, infrastructure and abstractions that allow Robinhood engineers to deploy AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes environments, and application onboarding safely and rapidly
- We focus on engineering high-level infrastructure abstractions to reduce operational toil and enable engineering teams to own their deployment workflows. Our team prioritizes engineering excellence, operational safety, and clear communication
- We partner closely with engineering teams across Networking, Compute, Developer Experience, Observability, and Security to deliver unified infrastructure control planes. We love solving complex cloud infrastructure challenges at scale!
- As a Software Developer on the Provisioning team, you will design and implement the next-generation infrastructure-as-code platform using Terraform, Go, and Python
- You will create clean Kubernetes-native abstractions that allow internal developers to independently provision databases, secrets, and environments with safe defaults. In this role, you will build and scale our delivery plane using Terragrunt, ArgoCD, and AWS CodePipeline to automate cluster rollouts
- You will collaborate with peer infrastructure teams to integrate networking, compute, and security requirements directly into our self-serve tools. Your work will directly eliminate centralized infrastructure bottlenecks and accelerate product delivery across the entire engineering organization
- Develop and maintain a self-serve provisioning platform for AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes environments, and application onboarding
- Build higher-level infrastructure abstractions using Terraform, Go, and Python to reduce manual configuration and operational toil
- Construct and optimize the delivery plane using Terragrunt, ArgoCD, and AWS CodePipeline to reliably roll out clusters and managed addons
- Collaborate with Networking, Compute, Developer Experience, Observability, and Security teams to embed automated defaults into provisioning workflows
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. Since then, expectations have continued to evolve, with investors looking not just to lower costs, but for simpler tools, clearer information, and guidance that makes the market easier to understand.
Robinhood was built to meet those changing expectations, designed from the start as a mobile-first platform that makes investor more accessible and less intimidating for people at every stage of their financial journey. Through its app, users can trade stocks and other financial instruments while benefiting from a clean interface and built-in educational support, helping them move from curiosity to confidence without unnecessary complexity.
Recently, Robinhood has strenghtned its impact too, particularly in the UK. With the launch of AI-powered Digests within its Robinhood Cortex assistant that helps users understand what's driving stock movements in plain English, while upcoming options trading and expanded educational resources add flexibility and depth. Together, these steps position Robinhood as a platform evolving alongside its users, blending technology and education to stay ahead in an ever-changing investment landscape.
