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 Customer Experience Engineering team at Robinhood sits at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and real human impact. We build the systems that power how millions of customers get support — from intelligent chatbot deflection and ticketing tools to a first-of-its-kind private wealth product called Concierge, designed for high-net-worth customers. Our team of engineers spans iOS, Android, web, backend, and LLM/AI specializations, working closely with dedicated product managers and data scientists to ship products that set a new bar in the fintech space. We move fast, we iterate, and we take quality seriously.

As the Senior Engineering Manager for Agent Experience, you'll own the engineering execution of one of Robinhood's most ambitious and high-visibility zero-to-one products. You'll lead a team of engineers building premium, AI-powered features — natively within the Robinhood app for our highest-value customers. This role requires a leader who is comfortable navigating ambiguity, aligning closely with product leadership, and delivering reliably in a fast-moving environment with executive visibility. You'll be a key voice in shaping both the technical direction and the culture of this team!

This role is based in our Menlo Park, CA office, with in-person attendance expected 5 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 

• Lead and develop a high-performing engineering team of ~15, owning hiring, performance, and career development across the full stack (iOS, Android, web, backend, and LLM/AI)
• Partner closely with product managers and data scientists to define and execute the Concierge product roadmap, from initial scoping through launch
• Drive delivery of complex, zero-to-one product features — including AI-powered financial planning tooling
• Navigate ambiguity and product direction changes with clarity and composure, maintaining team focus and momentum through shifting priorities
• Represent the engineering team in executive-level discussions, communicating progress, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to senior leadership and the C-suite
• Establish proactive quality measures, reliability standards, and engineering best practices suited to a high-risk, customer-facing product
• Champion a culture of accountability, technical excellence, and continuous improvement within your team

What you bring

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years in an engineering management role leading teams of 10 or more
• Demonstrated track record leading user-facing product development, ideally in consumer fintech, wealth management, or a high-stakes customer experience domain
• Experience building or scaling zero-to-one products, including navigating high ambiguity and frequent direction changes
• Strong cross-functional partnership skills — you've worked closely with product managers to define roadmaps and translated business goals into clear engineering plans
• Comfort presenting to and engaging with senior leadership and C-suite stakeholders, including managing expectations in high-visibility settings
• Proven ability to build and maintain service reliability standards and proactive quality practices on consumer-grade systems
• Familiarity with LLM/AI systems, or experience working alongside teams building AI-powered features
• Excellent communication skills — written and verbal — with the ability to create clarity from complexity

Nice to have:

• Experience in regulated financial products or familiarity with wealth management offerings (tax, estate planning, etc.)
• Background in both platform/infrastructure and product engineering, enabling strong technical breadth across the stack
• Experience supporting a team through organizational transitions or leadership changes
