About the Role & Team The Cryptographic Services & Infrastructure team secures and manages cryptographic keys and enables Robinhood engineering teams to safely leverage core capabilities like encryption and decryption. Join a high-impact team responsible for protecting some of Robinhood's most sensitive financial and customer data! In this role, you will help build and operationalize Robinhood's new in-house card-processing service—a critical initiative that brings core capabilities in-house and offers meaningful ownership across software, infrastructure, security, and operations. While prior cryptography or security experience is highly preferred, we are excited to empower strong engineers with a passion for security to learn and grow their skills on the job. This role is based in our Bellevue, WA and Menlo Park, CA offices, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week. At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community.

Help architect, launch, and scale Robinhood’s new in-house card-processing environment to protect sensitive card, financial, and tax-related data. Write clean, maintainable production code and build operational tooling across software, infrastructure, and security controls. Collaborate with internal engineering teams to support migrations, drive adoption of shared cryptographic capabilities, and ensure safe system design. Participate in a rotating on-call schedule to maintain high availability, security, and operational reliability as processing volume grows. What you bring Experience building, operating, or supporting production services, distributed systems, or infrastructure. Proficiency writing production code in at least one modern programming language (such as Python, Go, Java, C#, or C++) with a strong ability to reason about complex systems. Comfort working across multiple technical domains, including software development, infrastructure, and operational reliability. Clear and concise communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to explain technical decisions and proactively collaborate when facing challenges. Curiosity and willingness to learn security engineering principles and participate in a light on-call rotation. Bonus points Prior experience in site reliability engineering (SRE), platform engineering, or cloud security. Familiarity with key management, secrets management, or core cryptographic concepts (such as symmetric encryption or public/private key pairs). Experience handling sensitive financial, payment, or card data in regulated environments. Background in supporting internal customer migrations or driving platform adoption across engineering teams. What we offer 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.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
