• Own service mesh architecture end-to-end — standardize and evolve Robinhood's Istio and Envoy deployment, eliminate deprecated communication patterns, and build the networking foundation for multi-region operation

• Drive Kubernetes compute platform evolution — define the long-term direction for cluster lifecycle, scheduling strategy, control plane architecture, and multi-region resiliency across Robinhood's entire compute fleet

• Redesign infrastructure provisioning — transform Terraform from a collection of ad-hoc configurations into a scalable, self-service platform capability that enables rapid region provisioning and developer autonomy

• Operate with source-level depth — diagnose and resolve issues at the Kubernetes API machinery, etcd, Envoy xDS, and Terraform provider layer, and contribute upstream where it serves the platform

• Define technical direction across teams — produce architecture proposals, lead design reviews, and drive cross-functional alignment on infrastructure decisions that affect every engineering organization at Robinhood

What you bring

• Deep, hands-on expertise with Kubernetes internals — API server, controller reconciliation, etcd watch propagation, scheduler mechanics, and admission control

• Deep working knowledge of Istio and/or Envoy at the source code level — including the xDS API as a protocol; experience debugging at the control-plane/data-plane boundary

• HTTP/2 and gRPC wire-level knowledge — connection management, flow control, stream multiplexing, and observability

• Terraform at architectural scale — module design patterns, provider internals, remote state management, and multi-region provisioning

• Production Go or Python for infrastructure tooling; strong fundamentals in writing well-structured, tested, operationally sound code

• Proven ability to drive cross-functional architectural change across large or complex engineering organizations — influencing without authority and shipping durable decisions

• Performance driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, and equity ownership

• Top tier benefits to fuel your work, including supplemental health insurance, ancillary insurance, and mental health support programs
