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.

At Robinhood, Quality Engineering (QE) is a critical function within our broader engineering organization. We serve as the final line of defense for product quality—empowering teams to ship confidently by embedding robust test strategies, running critical end-to-end checks, and maintaining automation systems that scale with our product velocity. Our mission is to uphold a high bar for customer experience, especially during P0 launches, through a mix of technical expertise, test execution, and cross-functional collaboration.

As a Staff Quality Engineer, you will support high-impact product launches by designing test strategies, executing manual and automated testing, and partnering with our contractor team on regression test cycles.

• Familiarity with bug tracking (e.g., Jira) and test case management tools (e.g., TestRail)
• Build AI-powered systems and tools to automate and accelerate Quality Engineering workflows.
• Excellent communication skills, user empathy, and a detail‑oriented mindset
