Senior Staff Software Developer (Developer Infrastructure)

As the Senior Staff Software Developer, Developer Infrastructure, you are the technical driver of this entire org — the Uber Tech Lead unifying DevX, TestX, Backend Platform, and Mobile Platform under one cohesive technical vision
Your primary focus will be DevX, owning the technical direction of Robinhood’s most critical build and developer infrastructure
But your influence stretches far wider: you will be a driving force in weaving AI and agentic development deeply into every layer of the software development lifecycle — from intelligent code review and automated build pipelines to agentic coding systems that multiply what each engineer can ship
This is a rare opportunity to shape not just how Robinhood builds software today, but what engineering velocity looks like for the entire industry!
Own the technical direction and roadmap for the Developer Infrastructure org — serving as the Uber Tech Lead across DevX, TestX, Backend Platform and Mobile Platform, unifying four engineering teams under a shared technical vision
Lead and evolve Robinhood’s Bazel-based monorepo build infrastructure — own the remote build execution cluster, drive language-agnostic build optimization across Python, Go, TypeScript, and more, and ensure fast, stable feedback loops for the entire engineering org
Scale CI/CD pipelines to support thousands of daily builds with speed, safety, and reliability — overseeing GitHub repository configurations, pre-merge checks, and test execution infrastructure across the company
Drive the vision for TestX — the test infrastructure and environments that power Robinhood’s entire test experience, including integration test environments and personal development environments that simulate the full Robinhood system so engineers can test safely and confidently
Champion the integration of AI and agentic systems across the full software development lifecycle — driving initiatives that use intelligent automation and coding agents to multiply developer velocity, improve code quality, and accelerate the pace of innovation across the org
Set technical standards across Backend Platform and Mobile Platform — owning the vision for core language runtimes, libraries, IDE tooling, and developer environment security across Python, Go, TypeScript, Swift, and Android
Partner with engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to define and execute a long-term developer infrastructure roadmap that embeds AI as a force multiplier at every layer of the SDLC
Exceptional technical leadership, communication, and influence skills — you’ve unified cross-functional engineering teams around a shared vision and driven ambiguous, org-spanning initiatives to completion
Track record of mentoring senior engineers and elevating the technical bar across large, diverse engineering organizations
Strong background with distributed systems, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) — you understand the full stack of developer tooling from IDE to deployment
Genuine interest in or hands-on experience with agentic AI systems, automated code review, or AI-driven developer velocity programs — you have a clear point of view on how AI will reshape the software development lifecycle and want to be the one building it
10+ years of software engineering experience with a demonstrated track record at the Senior Staff, Principal, or Distinguished Engineer level — you’ve set technical direction at the org or company level, not just the team level
Experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines at massive scale — across thousands of daily builds, multiple programming languages, and complex pre-merge pipeline logic
Deep expertise with Bazel and large-scale monorepo build systems — you’ve owned remote build execution infrastructure at scale and understand the architectural tradeoffs deeply
Experience with test infrastructure, integration test environments, or developer environment platforms — you understand what a great test experience looks at scale
Fluency in Go and/or Python;
broad familiarity with TypeScript, Swift, or Android development environments is a strong signal
