Senior Analytics Engineer

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. Builders who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood isn’t a place for complacency, it’s where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. We’re a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards.

Robinhood’s Analytics Engineering team, part of the Data Science organization, is the backbone of our decision-making ecosystem. We design and deliver foundational data products that power everything from product innovation to regulatory compliance and operational excellence. Our mission is simple but ambitious: enable every team at Robinhood to access trustworthy, scalable, and self-serve analytics—so the right decisions happen faster.

We operate at the intersection of data engineering, data science, and product strategy, collaborating closely with product managers, engineers, and data scientists to transform raw data into clear, actionable intelligence.
