About the team + role

The Credit Cards & Banking team is part of Robinhood’s Money Engineering organization. This team builds the products and systems behind some of Robinhood’s most ambitious consumer experiences, including Robinhood Gold Credit Card, Banking, and the next generation of card and banking products.

This is a high-impact engineering leadership role at the intersection of product innovation, scale, and reliability.
