Join us in building the future of finance.Our mission is to democratize finance for all. An estimated $124 trillion of assets will be inherited by younger generations in the next two decades. If you’re ready to be at the epicenter of this historic cultural and financial shift, keep reading.About the team + roleWe are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. The Prime team's mission is to build Bitstamp's prime brokerage for institutional clients — the platform that lets hedge funds, market makers, and professional trading firms onboard, fund, trade, borrow against, and settle positions at scale. We build the systems that move real institutional money: cross-venue settlement, credit against collateral, matched-book lending, and the bridge that brings tokenized securities to our order book — together with the client- and ops-facing surfaces that make them usable, from institutional onboarding and account configuration to reporting and the backoffice tooling our operations run on every day. As a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, you will own the design and end-to-end delivery of features across that whole surface — from the Prime backend services down to the frontend and backoffice screens that expose them. This role is based in our London office, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams.What you’ll doLead the design and end-to-end delivery of features across the stack — from Prime backend services (settlement, on-exchange credit, lending, tokenized securities) through to the frontend and backoffice screens clients and ops teams rely on.Own the client- and ops-facing journeys across the institutional lifecycle — onboarding, account configuration, reporting, and the tooling that lets operations run the business safely.Author detailed designs and break work into reviewable steps, making failure states, invariants, and recovery explicit before you ship — on flows where a wrong answer moves real money.Uplevel the team through design-focused code review and mentorship, and move fluidly between backend and frontend as the work demands rather than handing off at a boundary.What you bringA track record of independently delivering complex, high-ambiguity projects with long-term impact, operating them in production and owning every line you ship.Strong full-stack range in production — a modern backend (we work primarily in Python/Django and Go) and a component-based frontend (we use Vue) — with the judgment to know where a given problem is best solved and a genuine willingness to own whatever the feature needs, wherever it lives in the stack.Hands-on experience building financial systems — user balances, ledgers, risk engines, settlement, onboarding/KYC, or payments — where correctness is non-negotiable and mistakes are expensive.ð What we offerChallenging, high-impact work to grow your career and shape the future of global institutional finance Performance-driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, and equity ownership Top-tier health benefits to fuel your work, including 100% employer-paid private medical insurance for you and comprehensive coverage for dependents, alongside mental health and wellbeing support programs Aviva Pension Scheme with highly competitive company matching to secure your future Lifestyle Wallet: A highly flexible employer-paid benefits spending account to offset expenses like wellness, learning, childcare, and more Access to the best AI tools on the market with continuous AI skill-building opportunities for all employees Time to recharge: Generous paid time off, company holidays, sick time, parental leave, and paid volunteer time off Exceptional office experience: Catered meals, fully stocked snacks, team social events, and modern workspaces in our London locationClick here to learn more about our Total Rewards, which vary by region and entity.If our mission energizes you and you’re ready to build the future of finance, we look forward to seeing your application.AI Usage Disclosure: Robinhood uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of our recruiting process.
