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 Experimentation Platform team at Robinhood builds the systems and infrastructure that power our company-wide experimentation efforts. Our mission is to enable rapid, trustworthy, and statistically sound experimentation at scale, empowering teams to learn quickly and make confident decisions.
