Senior Full Stack Engineer, International | Robinhood NYC, Toronto

The International engineering team’s mission is to expand Robinhood’s products globally and scale its platform to support millions of new customers in diverse markets. The team builds experiences across onboarding, funding, account setup, localized products, growth incentives, and the platform capabilities needed to operate in new jurisdictions. As a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, you will be a core technical driver of Robinhood’s global expansion, bridging high-performance frontends with resilient backend distributed systems. You will design reusable platform abstractions that let Robinhood scale into new markets while upholding standards for security, availability, and compliance. You will lead complex technical designs, raise the engineering bar across the stack, and work with product managers, designers, compliance partners, and platform teams.
