About the position

The Staff Web Engineer will join Robinhood’s Advisor Products team, which is integrating Trade PMR, a newly acquired registered investment advisor platform, into the Robinhood product suite. The team’s multiyear mission is to connect Robinhood retail customers with Trade PMR financial advisors and bring the platforms’ technology and user experiences together into one coherent product. The initial focus for this role is integrating retail customers with Trade PMR advisors. The engineer will build and scale full-stack systems, including backend services and web applications for advisors and investors. The role combines hands-on coding and system design with setting technical direction, shaping architecture as the integration grows, and partnering with stakeholders to translate open-ended needs into technical plans. The engineer will also coach and review other engineers’ work and help improve quality and development practices. The position is based in Robinhood’s New York, NY office and requires in-person hybrid attendance at least three days per week.
