Software Engineer, Tokenization

As a Software Engineer on the Tokenization team at Robinhood, you'll build backend services that make tokenized equities work end to end, from issuance and custody to on-chain settlement, synchronized with traditional brokerage and ledger systems. The Tokenization team brings both public and private equity to be tradable 24/7 on decentralized exchanges across the Robinhood Chain, working at the intersection of blockchain technology, financial market infrastructure, and distributed systems. You'll ship product-facing features and platform capabilities in a domain where correctness is non-negotiable, as the systems you build move real customer assets continuously around the clock.

• Design, build, test, and deploy the backend services that mint, custody, and settle tokenized equities on the Robinhood Chain, with correctness and auditability as hard requirements
• Develop product-facing features and platform enhancements that meet strict correctness and scalability standards
• Build the connective tissue between traditional market infrastructure (brokerage, ledgers, corporate actions) and on-chain systems, including smart contract integrations, chain indexers, and DEX trade flows
• Identify and implement improvements to system performance, engineering productivity, and risk reduction
• Collaborate closely with product, compliance, client, and platform teams to deliver impactful technical solutions

What you bring

• 2+ years of experience in software development
• Expertise in backend development using languages such as Go, Python, or Java, with a solid grasp of cloud-native architectures
• Strong grasp of system design, data modeling, and software engineering fundamentals
• Care for correctness-critical systems, including idempotency, reconciliation, and careful reasoning about failure modes when money is at stake
• Strong ownership mindset, with a track record of delivering high-quality projects end to end in cross-functional environments
• Interest in blockchain fundamentals such as the EVM, smart contracts, wallets, and on-chain settlement, or a strong appetite to learn these quickly

What we offer

• Base pay of $136,000-$160,000 CAD, plus bonus opportunities and equity
• Performance-driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact
• Supplemental health insurance, ancillary insurance, and mental health support programs
• Access to the best AI tools on the market and continuous AI skill-building for every employee
