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 Storage Platform team builds and operates the platform that powers database access across Robinhood. We own relational (Postgres/Aurora), key‑value (DynamoDB), and caching systems, along with the SDKs, control plane automation, and data plane services that enable safe and reliable access at scale. Our mission is to standardize and strengthen how services connect to storage, improve reliability and performance, and reduce operational overhead through automation. We manage thousands of databases and hundreds of caching clusters supporting millions of users and critical brokerage workloads. Availability is our highest priority — our systems are designed to meet strict uptime targets, including no downtime during market hours.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will build and improve core infrastructure used by many engineering teams, with a focus on reliability, performance, and operational excellence. You’ll deliver key components of data plane and control plane systems (for example: connection pooling, query routing, automation workflows, and observability) and help evolve patterns for safe, consistent database access. You’ll work closely with peers to design pragmatic solutions, reduce toil through automation, and improve how we operate storage systems at scale.

What you’ll do- Build and ship services that improve database reliability and performance, including connection pooling, query routing, and database access patterns
- Implement automation that reduces manual work for operating databases and caching clusters at scale (provisioning, configuration changes, backups, and routine operations)
- Improve observability for storage systems by adding metrics, logs, and alerts that help detect issues early and speed up incident response
- Diagnose and resolve production issues across storage infrastructure, including latency regressions, capacity constraints, and availability events
- Contribute to engineering standards for secure database connectivity (for example, encryption‑in‑transit) and safe usage guardrails
- Strong experience building and operating backend or infrastructure systems in production environments
- Solid knowledge of PostgreSQL and relational database concepts (schema design, indexing, query performance, replication fundamentals)
- Proficiency in at least one backend language such as Go or Rust, with the ability to learn existing codebases quickly
- Experience with cloud infrastructure and containers (AWS and Kubernetes preferred), plus hands‑on operational skills (on‑call, incident response, and post‑incident follow‑ups)
- Familiarity with system observability practices and performance measurement (metrics, dashboards, logs, and tracing)
- Challenging, high‑impact work to grow your career.
- Performance‑driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, equity ownership, and 401(k) matching.
- Best‑in‑class benefits to fuel your work, including 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents.
- Lifestyle wallet — a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more.
- Employer‑paid life & disability insurance, fertility benefits, and mental health benefits.
