About the team:

The preferred location for this position is in or around Robinhood's offices in Menlo Park, CA , New York City, or Seattle, WA, with in-office work capabilities, as may be required by management, but remote work in limited geographies within the U.S. may be considered. Check with your recruiter for more information.

The Apollo team provides a centrally-managed, community-supported platform that integrates closely with each step of the development workflow at Robinhood. We define a set of standards and configuration that all new applications should follow. By implementing this interface, services immediately gain access to a streamlined, end-to-end developer workflow supported by Apollo that Robinhoodies can use to safely and effectively develop, ship, and validate features.

The team focuses on 3 specific areas of focus.

1. Personal Development Environments: isolated production-like environments that allow engineers and non-engineers alike to experiment and explore.
2. Integration Testing: end-to-end, cross-service testing that runs on every diff and gates lands to master
3. Shared Tooling: libraries, UIs, and other tooling critical to the development process to abstract away complexities for our users.
