60 Robinhood Data Jobs Hiring Near You

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 Data Lake Ingestion team builds the foundations that move data from Robinhood's operational platforms into our data lake so partner teams can make data-driven decisions. Our mission centers on operating secure and reliable ingestion paths, spanning near-real-time CDC pipelines, large-scale snapshot systems, and streaming flows via Kafka and Flink. We sit at the center of Robinhood's data platform, directly enabling analytics, regulatory retention workflows, and secure access patterns across the company. We collaborate with partner teams like Storage, Streaming Platform, and Governance to maintain high data quality and schema validation at scale. Our team is built on a culture of technical excellence and collaborative problem-solving to address deep platform engineering challenges!

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and implement the next generation of our hybrid ingestion systems, focusing on performance, schema evolution, and validation. You will scale our flagship Rocket CDC platform and migrate legacy snapshot pipelines to newer, backup-based architectures. Your work will involve developing high-throughput streaming applications with Apache Flink and Kafka to land curated datasets in S3. You will also partner with downstream data consumers to establish secure access controls and protect sensitive data across the ingestion lifecycle. In this position, you will guide technical designs and mentor other engineers on the team to raise our engineering standards.

This role is based in our Bellevue, WA office, 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.
