Senior Software Engineer, Tokenization

As a Senior Software Engineer on Robinhood's Tokenization team, you will design and build the core systems that issue, custody, and settle tokenized equities on-chain while keeping them in sync with traditional brokerage and ledger systems. The team's mission is to bring both public and private equity to be tradable 24/7 on decentralized exchanges across the Robinhood Chain. You'll lead technically complex projects end to end, make architectural decisions on a foundational initiative, and work in a domain where correctness is non-negotiable, as the systems you build move real customer assets continuously across multiple chains and jurisdictions.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and operate the backend services that mint, custody, and settle tokenized equities across leading blockchains, with correctness and auditability as hard requirements
• Own large, technically complex projects end to end including design, implementation, rollout, and operating what you ship in a 24/7 system
• Build the connective tissue between traditional market infrastructure such as brokerage, ledgers, and corporate actions, and on-chain systems, including smart contract integrations, chain indexers, and DEX trade flows
• Partner with product, compliance, legal, and platform teams to turn regulatory constraints into workable system design
• Raise the technical bar through design reviews, code reviews, and hands-on mentorship

What you bring

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including a track record of delivering large-scale distributed systems in production
• Expertise in backend development with Go, Python, or Java, and deep familiarity with cloud-native architecture such as Kafka, Postgres, Kubernetes, or equivalents
• Strong instincts for correctness-critical systems: idempotency, reconciliation, and reasoning carefully about failure modes when money is at stake
• Demonstrated ownership of ambiguous, cross-functional projects, with the judgment to make tradeoffs and drive alignment
• Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction beyond your own projects
• Working knowledge of blockchain fundamentals including EVM, smart contracts, wallets, and on-chain settlement, or a strong appetite to go deep quickly

What we offer

• Base pay of $196,000-$230,000 USD (Zone 1: Menlo Park, CA; New York, NY; Bellevue, WA; Washington, DC), $172,000-$202,000 USD (Zone 2: Denver, CO; Westlake, TX; Chicago, IL), or $153,000-$179,000 USD (Zone 3: Lake Mary, FL; Clearwater, FL; Gainesville, FL), plus bonus opportunities and equity
