About the team + role
We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies and deep customer understanding to some of the world’s biggest financial problems. We are looking for bold thinkers, problem solvers, and builders who are motivated to make an impact. Robinhood is a high performing, fast moving environment with ethics at the center of everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards.
Research has been central to our product development and business strategy since the very beginning. As our user base and products continue to grow, the Brokerage Research team helps Robinhood systematically understand how people invest, trade, manage their accounts, and think and feel about money.
As a Staff User Researcher, you will lead research across multiple Brokerage product areas. You will partner with product and business leaders to identify the questions that matter most, bring clarity to ambiguous problems, and ensure customer evidence informs both near term decisions and longer term strategy. You should be comfortable and willing to incorporate AI into your research practice, while applying sound judgment to maintain research quality, customer trust, and appropriate governance.
This role is based in our Bellevue, WA, Menlo Park, CA, or New York, NY office(s), 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.
