Engineering Manager

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.

The Robinhood Social team is building Robinhood's social trading platform — a feed-based experience where traders share insights, follow one another, and discover market-moving information in real time. The product is currently in beta, making this a rare ground up opportunity to shape the future of social experiences at Robinhood from the ground up. You'll work closely with product, design, data, machine learning, and safety teams to build reliable, scalable systems that support high-volume content, user interactions, and personalized discovery.

As an Engineering Manager for the Social team, you will lead a group of engineers building core social trading features. You will set technical direction, drive execution against product goals, and ensure systems meet reliability and performance standards. You will partner cross-functionally to define priorities, translate product needs into technical plans, and deliver end product. You will also grow engineers through feedback, goal-setting, and career planning.
