Senior Backend Engineer at Robinhood (Bitstamp) leading containerization and modernization of a legacy monolith architecture. Focus on AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes deployment, and integration with Robinhood's global systems.
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. The largest transfer of wealth in human history. If you’re ready to be at the epicenter of this historic cultural and financial shift, keep reading.
We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. We’re looking for bold thinkers. Sharp problem-solvers. Builders who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood isn’t a place for complacency, it’s where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. We’re a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards.
Bitstamp made history in 2011 as the world’s first regulated crypto exchange. Today, we are entering an ambitious new chapter as part of the Robinhood family. The Cloud Engineering Team is at the heart of this transformation, owning the AWS foothold that enables our global expansion and ensures the world’s longest-running exchange remains unshakeable.
We are currently bridging the gap between our legacy monolith architecture and a modern, high-velocity ecosystem. This team doesn't just "run" the platform; we are the architects of its modernization, moving toward full containerization and fully automated operational responsibilities to deliver at "Robinhood speed."
As a Senior Backend Engineer integrated into the Cloud Engineering team, you will be a key driver of our modernization strategy. You aren't just writing features; you are rewriting the rules of how our core platform operates. You will take ownership of the code changes necessary to decompose our monolith into a containerized, scalable environment while ensuring seamless integration with Robinhood’s global systems.
