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.
Robinhood is seeking a Senior Applications Engineer to join Enterprise Build , the small, high-leverage team that turns the company's best AI-built prototypes into true enterprise-grade services. Robinhood's corporate ecosystem is deep, Okta identity, Google Workspace, Slack, ServiceNow, Atlassian, Salesforce, and the agent fabric that makes all of it agent-accessible. When a prototype graduates into a real service, someone has to make it a native citizen of that ecosystem: single sign-on and access done right, provisioning and audit wired in, data flowing to and from the systems of record, surfaces appearing where people already work. That someone is you.
You will own the front of the pipeline: when prototypes arrive at the team's intake, you perform the rapid technical assessment, what data it touches, what systems it needs, what would break, that determines whether it self-serves in the sandbox, becomes a Build engagement, or is better bought than built. You’ll partner with the team's SWEs, who rebuild prototypes from the ground up into production services. You determine how everything connects, with breadth across enterprise surfaces, and you personally deliver the many ‘graduations’ that are 80% integration, configuration, and workflow automation with 20% glue code, where a ground-up rebuild isn’t needed. Between builds, your intake assessments shape what the whole team does next.
Robinhood operates in a heavily regulated industry: ambiguity is constant, playbooks are yours to write, and safe-by-default is the house style.
This role is based in our Menlo Park, CA 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.
What You'll Do
• Own intake assessment for the graduation pipeline: rapidly evaluate incoming prototypes, data classification, system touchpoints, integration surface, risk flags, and recommend the disposition: sandbox, build, or buy.
• Make graduated service
