Our mission is to democratize finance for all. An estimated $124 trillion of assets will be inherited by younger generations in the next two decades. The largest transfer of wealth in human history. If you’re ready to be at the epicenter of this historic cultural and financial shift, keep reading.
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.
Our backend engineers sit at the core of how Robinhood works — powering the financial products that millions of people rely on every day. We build and scale the services, infrastructure, and data systems behind brokerage, crypto, payments, and more. We move fast, hold high standards, and solve problems that actually matter — at a scale that very few engineers ever get the chance to touch.
As a Software Engineering Intern, Backend, you won't be on the sidelines — you'll own a meaningful project end-to-end, from initial scoping through to production. You'll be embedded on a real team, working directly with experienced engineers, diving deep into how the US financial system actually operates, and shipping software that meets the correctness and scale requirements of a live financial platform. This is a summer where you'll leave with real impact to show for it!
This role is based in our Menlo Park, CA, Bellevue, WA, 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.
