Software Engineer, Tokenization

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 Tokenization team's mission is to bring both public and private equity to be tradable 24/7 on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) across the Robinhood Chain. We work at the intersection of blockchain technology, financial market infrastructure, and modern distributed systems - with a focus on accessibility, security, and scalability. Equity markets have been closed nights and weekends for a century; we're building the infrastructure that changes that.

As a Software Engineer, you'll build and own backend services that make tokenized equities work end to end - issuance, custody, and settlement on-chain, kept in sync with traditional brokerage and ledger systems. You'll ship product-facing features and platform capabilities in a domain where correctness is non-negotiable - the systems you build move real customer assets, continuously, around the clock.

This role are based in either our Menlo Park, Toronto or New York city 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. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams.

Design, build, test, and deploy the backend services that mint, custody, and settle tokenized equities on the Robinhood Chain, with correctness and auditability as hard requirements

Develop product-facing features and platform enhancements that meet strict correctness and scalability standards

Build the connective tissue between traditional market infrastructure (brokerage, ledgers, corporate actions) and on-chain systems, including smart contract integrations, chain indexers, and DEX trade flows

What you bring

2+ years of experience in software development

Strong ownership mindset, with a track record of delivering high-quality projects end to end in cross-functional environments

Interest in blockchain fundamentals - EVM, smart contracts, wallets, on-chain settlement - or a strong appetite to go deep quickly
