About the team + role

Robinhood’s products are powered by a multitude of powerful microservices working in unison. In order for these microservices to work, they need to be able to locate and communicate with each other. As the Service Discovery and Communication team, we build and deploy the fundamental systems that enable this real-time, inter-service communication all while being highly-scaleable, robust and reliable!

The team builds with Go and Python as the main language and frameworks of choice with C++ being a bonus as we construct our Global Edge. We also use Envoy for load balancing and global routing, Unbound and CoreDNS as our DNS, and gRPC for inter-service communication. We also heavily utilize Kubernetes, AWS, service discovery and service mesh type systems such as Istio.

We are looking for a Software Developer to join the team, build on our current infrastructure and backend services, and help bring excellent interservice connection between all of our microservices!

What you’ll do

• Design large scale, distributed systems within the team, making the right tradeoffs for risk and long-term maintainability.
• Proactively identify and drive optimizations and improvements to the infrastructure and systems.
• Be a hands-on contributor for critical projects on the roadmap.
• Contribute to open source projects.
