Software Engineer, Tokenization

As a Software Engineer on the Tokenization team at Robinhood, you build and own backend services that make tokenized equities work end to end. You bring 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. The systems you build move real customer assets continuously, around the clock, where correctness is non-negotiable.

What you'll do

• Design, build, test, and deploy 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: idempotency, reconciliation, and reasoning carefully 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 EVM, smart contracts, wallets, and on-chain settlement, or a strong appetite to go deep quickly

What we offer

• Base pay of $166,000-$195,000 USD (Menlo Park, New York, Bellevue, or Washington DC), $147,000-$172,000 USD (Denver, Westlake, or Chicago), or $130,000-$152,000 USD (Lake Mary, Clearwater, or Gainesville), plus bonus opportunities, equity, and benefits
• Performance-driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact
• 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents
• Employer-paid life and disability insurance, fertility benefits, and mental health benefits
• Lifestyle wallet: a flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more
• Access to top AI tools and continuous AI skill-building for every employee
• Time off including company holidays, paid time off, sick time, parental leave, and more
• Exceptional office experience with catered meals, events, and comfortable workspaces
• 401(k) matching

This role is based in Menlo Park, Toronto, or New York City, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.
