The Trade PMR team provides software services for investment advisors, acting as a custodian and offering a high-scale platform for trading, account management, and customer relationship management.

This is a high-visibility team where your work directly shapes the future of Robinhood’s B2B and advisory FinTech offering!

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Trade PMR team, you will be a technical leader responsible for evolving the Fusion platform. You will architect the backend systems that provide a holistic view of client data for advisors and build out the foundational infrastructure required to support Dual Custody and Robinhood custodied accounts. You’ll have a broad scope of impact, working on critical integration projects that bridge the gap between retail and advisory services while ensuring the platform remains performant and scalable.

• Deep expertise in domain modeling, microservices architecture, and building highly reliable APIs capable of orchestrating complex cross-functional data flows across multiple engineering domains.
  
  
• Demonstrable execution in a zero-to-one product space, navigating high levels of technical ambiguity, setting foundational engineering patterns, and systematically de-risking complex technical blockers.
  
  
• Experience serving as a primary technical point of contact across an entire organization, with a strong commitment to raising the engineering bar by sponsoring and mentoring senior engineers.
  
  
• Exceptional communication skills with a proven capability to partner closely with Product, Security and Compliance partners to translate highly complex legal or regulatory constraints into clean, maintainable backend infrastructure.

Bonus:

• Experience in the RIA (Registered Investment Advisor) or Wealth Management industry.
