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 Android team’s mission is to redefine how millions of users engage with their finances. We're focused on delivering intuitive, scalable, and inclusive mobile experiences that empower our customers to build better financial futures. We collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Backend Engineering to ensure every interaction on Android reflects quality, performance, and care.

Robinhood has been tapped as the brokerage and initial trustee for the federal Trump Accounts program, and this team is building the standalone platform that will bring that experience to life for the next generation of Americans. You’ll join a fast-moving, high-impact group working from 0→1 to develop the product and infrastructure behind a new web and app experience, partnering across product, data, and infrastructure to deliver a secure, intuitive, and reliable customer offering.

As a Senior Android Engineer on Trump Accounts, you’d help build the standalone mobile experience from the ground up, owning features from concept through launch and translating complex account and investing workflows into clear, intuitive product experiences. You’d work closely with product, design, backend, data, and platform partners to ship high-quality Android features with a strong bar for performance, reliability, safety, and correctness in a highly regulated space.

This role is based in our New York City, NY or Menlo Park, CA office, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.

  • Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Designers, Backend Engineers, and Data Scientists to create impactful solutions
  • Champion engineering best practices that ensure code quality, scalability, and maintainability
  • Mentor junior developers and help elevate team standards and collaboration
What you bring

  • Proficiency with Kotlin and/or Java, and a strong grasp of Android SDK and architecture patterns like MVVM
  • Experience using Jetpack Compose, Coroutines & Flow or RxJava, and libraries such as Retrofit and Room
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills with a product-focused mindset
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor peers, lead complex projects, and influence architecture decisions
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
What we offer
  • Challenging, high-impact work to grow your career
  • Performance driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, equity ownership, and 401(k) matching
  • Best-in-class benefits including 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents
  • Lifestyle wallet — a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more
  • Employer-paid life & disability insurance, fertility benefits, and mental health support
  • Generous time off including company holidays, PTO, sick time, and parental leave
