Independent Contractor Weekend Software Developer Jobs in Toronto, ON

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.
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.

This role is based in our Toronto office(s), with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week. 

At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams.
