The Android team’s mission is to redefine how millions of users engage with their finances. We're focused on delivering intuitive, scalable, and inclusive mobile experiences that empower our customers to build better financial futures. We collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Backend Engineering to ensure every interaction on Android reflects quality, performance, and care.

Robinhood has been tapped as the brokerage and initial trustee for the federal Trump Accounts program, and this team is building the standalone platform that will bring that experience to life for the next generation of Americans.

What you bring

• 6+ years of professional experience developing Android applications
• Proficiency with Kotlin and/or Java, and a strong grasp of Android SDK and architecture patterns like MVVM
• Experience using Jetpack Compose, Coroutines & Flow or RxJava, and libraries such as Retrofit and Room
• Strong collaboration and communication skills with a product-focused mindset
• Demonstrated ability to mentor peers, lead complex projects, and influence architecture decisions
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience

What we offer

• Challenging, high-impact work to grow your career
