Description For Senior Staff Software Developer, Developer Infra

Robinhood Markets, a pioneering fintech company, is revolutionizing finance by making financial markets accessible to everyone. As a Senior Staff Software Developer in the Developer Infrastructure organization, you'll play a crucial role in shaping the future of developer experience at Robinhood. This position sits at the intersection of technical leadership and architectural innovation, focusing on building systems that enable engineers across the company to deliver exceptional software faster and more reliably.

The Developer Infrastructure team serves as the backbone of Robinhood's engineering efficiency, designing and implementing systems, platforms, and experiences that make software development seamless and reliable at scale. In this role, you'll lead initiatives that directly impact the company's ability to ship high-quality software, working on everything from build systems and CI/CD pipelines to developer tooling and observability.

You'll be joining a team that believes infrastructure should be invisible when working perfectly - intuitive, resilient, and empowering. Your work will focus on eliminating friction, enhancing feedback loops, and driving developer productivity through operational excellence and world-class tooling. This role offers the opportunity to influence technical strategy across the organization while working on complex systems that power one of the most innovative fintech platforms.

The position requires a blend of deep technical expertise and leadership skills, as you'll be responsible for architecting solutions, mentoring other engineers, and driving cross-functional initiatives. You'll work closely with teams across the organization to implement long-term roadmaps and establish technical standards that promote engineering excellence.

Based in Toronto, ON, this role offers competitive compensation ranging from $213,000 to $250,000 CAD, along with participation in Robinhood's bonus and equity plans. The company provides a comprehensive benefits package and maintains a strong commitment to diversity, inclusion, and creating an equitable workplace where all employees can thrive.
