Our group is building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. We’re looking for bold thinkers and sharp problem-solvers who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood is 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.

Robinhood Social is building the first place active traders check: a network where every trade is real, backed by a real track record, so conviction is built on proof instead of hype. Since launching in 2026, the team has proven the feed is worth opening. Now the focus is on the harder problem of helping traders form real relationships around symbols, real-time market moments, and creators worth following. It’s a high-leverage, fast-moving product bet with a direct line to Robinhood-wide engagement. Our team is full-stack, spanning backend, mobile, and web engineers, and we work closely together across the stack to ship end-to-end features rather than working in silos.

As an Android Engineer on the Social team, you would build and improve Android experiences that help customers engage with investing in more social, creator-driven, and content-rich ways. You would contribute to features across feed and sharing experiences, onboarding flows, and creator-facing surfaces, partnering closely with backend, web, product, design, and data counterparts to ship end-to-end experiences. This role follows the Gen Eng Android foundation, with an emphasis on Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Android architecture components, Gradle, and strong product-facing engineering fundamentals.

These teams are based in our New York office, 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.
