About the team + role

We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. We’re looking for bold thinkers. Sharp problem-solvers. Builders who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood isn’t a place for complacency, it’s where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. We’re a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards.

The Android team’s mission is to redefine how millions of users engage with their finances. We're focused on delivering intuitive, scalable, and inclusive mobile experiences that empower our customers to build better financial futures.

Robinhood has been tapped as the brokerage and initial trustee for the federal Trump Accounts program, and this team is building the standalone platform that will bring that experience to life for the next generation of Americans.
