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.

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 AI Infrastructure team’s mission is to provide a robust, agile, and centralized AI platform—empowering teams across Robinhood to rapidly build, deploy, and iterate on high-quality Machine Learning (ML) and Generative AI (GenAI) applications at scale.

As a Software Engineer, you’ll help evolve our ML platform and services to support scalable, reliable, and secure model development and deployment. You’ll work closely with Data Scientists and Applied ML Engineers to build foundational systems that accelerate experimentation, improve model observability, and drive business impact through AI.

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable systems for deploying, monitoring, and managing Machine Learning models in production.
  • Partner with ML practitioners to streamline workflows, integrate internal ML libraries, and optimize model performance.
  • Contribute to the development and scaling of our feature store, enabling efficient feature retrieval across real-time and batch use cases.
  • Implement robust observability for model performance, data pipelines, and feature freshness.
  • Manage and optimize cloud compute resources (CPU/GPU) to support cost-effective training and inference across AWS.
What you bring
  • 2+ years of software engineering experience, ideally within ML infrastructure, data engineering, or model operations.
  • Hands-on experience with model serving, distributed systems, or production ML workflows.
  • Familiarity with modern ML infrastructure tools (e.g., Ray, Kubeflow, SageMaker, TensorFlow Serving, Triton).
  • Strong proficiency in Python, C++, or similar languages, and experience with ML frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch.
  • Hands-on experience with large-scale search systems, including embedding models, vector databases, and distributed retrieval engines, using platforms like Qdrant, ChromaDB, Elasticsearch etc. with dense vector search capabilities.
  • A collaborative mindset with an interest in building reliable platforms that support company-wide impact.
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 to fuel your work, 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 benefits
  • Time off to recharge including company holidays, paid time off, sick time, parental leave, and more!
  • Exceptional office experience with catered meals, events, and comfortable workspaces.
