Senior Applications Engineer, Enterprise Build
About The Position
Robinhood is seeking a Senior Applications Engineer to join Enterprise Build, a team focused on transforming AI-built prototypes into enterprise-grade services. This role involves integrating these services into Robinhood's corporate ecosystem, including Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, ServiceNow, Atlassian, and Salesforce. The engineer will be responsible for ensuring single sign-on, access control, provisioning, auditing, and data flow to and from systems of record. The position requires a proactive approach to technical assessment of prototypes, determining their integration path, and collaborating with software engineers to rebuild them into production services. The role emphasizes ownership of the integration and configuration aspects of service "graduations," often involving workflow automation and minimal glue code. Robinhood operates in a regulated industry, requiring a "safe-by-default" approach and the ability to define processes in ambiguous environments. This role is based in Menlo Park, CA, with a requirement for at least three days of in-person attendance per week, emphasizing the company's belief in the value of in-person collaboration for innovation and community building.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience across a modern enterprise SaaS estate, Okta (identity, SSO, lifecycle), Google Workspace, Slack, ServiceNow, Atlassian, and with integration or workflow-automation platforms (e.g., Workato or similar).
- Strong scripting and API fluency: Python or similar for glue code and automation, plus working depth in REST, webhooks, OAuth, and SCIM. You ship working integrations; you don't need to be a full-stack systems engineer, that's what your SWE teammates are for.
- Proven ownership of at least one significant service or platform area as its domain expert, with sound decisions under medium-to-high ambiguity.
- An assessor's eye: you can look at an unfamiliar app and quickly see what data it touches, what it depends on, and what it would take to run it safely.
- Exceptional analytical and communication skills, you translate technical complexity into clear guidance for both executives and engineers.
- Proven ability to work independently in high-ambiguity situations, define scope where there is none, and build trust across functions.
Nice To Haves
- Experience in highly regulated industries, particularly finance or fintech, is strongly preferred.
Responsibilities
- Own intake assessment for the graduation pipeline: rapidly evaluate incoming prototypes, data classification, system touchpoints, integration surface, risk flags, and recommend the disposition: sandbox, build, or buy.
- Make graduated services native to the enterprise: SSO and access via Okta, SCIM provisioning, audit logging, and surfaces in Slack, Workspace, and ServiceNow where users already live.
- Deliver integration-led graduations end-to-end where configuration, workflow automation, and targeted glue code beat a ground-up rebuild.
- Build and maintain the MCP integrations and automations that connect Build's services to Robinhood's SaaS estate, and make them agent-accessible by default.
- Work directly with business partners to map their real workflow before anything is built, and stay their translator throughout the engagement.
- Partner with Enterprise Platforms on the identity and application-onboarding paved road, and with Enterprise Operations on clean operational handoffs.
- Apply approved AI tools relentlessly to your own work: automate the repetitive parts of assessment, integration, and documentation so your time goes to judgment.
