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.

The Developer Infrastructure (Dev Infra) team at Robinhood empowers every engineer to deliver exceptional software — faster, safer, and at scale. We design and build the invisible foundations that make innovation possible, ensuring that developers can focus on writing great code while relying on seamless tooling, systems, and processes.

Our vision is ambitious: A world where engineers can design, build, test, and ship in minutes — not days — with full confidence in their tools. We are a multidisciplinary team covering backend and frontend platforms, CI/CD, and testing infrastructure

We are looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead and orchestrate cross-cutting initiatives that span multiple Dev Infra sub-teams. This role is pivotal in realizing our mission of accelerating software delivery and improving developer experience, reliability, and operational excellence at scale.

You’ll drive programs that touch every part of the software development lifecycle (SDLC)— from code authoring to deployment — and help ensure the delivery of infrastructure systems that are invisible when working perfectly, trusted by developers, and continuously evolving to meet our growing needs.

This role is based in our Toronto 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 do

• Lead Strategic Initiatives: Own the planning and execution of large-scale programs across Dev Infra, including efforts in CI/CD scalability, developer tooling adoption, test infrastructure modernization, and platform migrations.
• Unify Vision & Execution: Translate product and engineering strategy into concrete, measurable plans that align across multiple teams.
• Deliver Developer Value: Work backward from internal developer needs to define requirements, priorities, and milestones that improve velocity, reliability, and satisfaction.
• Foster Operational Excellence: Establish and refine processes that improve visibility, communication, and accountability across distributed engineering teams.
• Promote Dev Infra’s Mission: Clearly communicate the vision, roadmap, and progress of infrastructure programs to technical and non-technical partners.
• Measure What Matters: Partner with engineering leadership to define and report key metrics (e.g., PR cycle time, CI/CD success rate, build speed, test coverage, etc.) to ensure we’re moving the needle.
• Be a Multiplier: Proactively identify risks, misalignments, and inefficiencies — and implement scalable solutions to address them across the organization.

What you bring

• 8+ years of experience driving complex, multi-functional technical programs — ideally in developer infrastructure, platform engineering, or similar domains.
• Deep understanding of the SDLC and modern engineering practices — especially in build systems, CI/CD, testing, and developer experience.
• Technical fluency — you’re comfortable diving into system architectures, design docs, and engineering metrics to understand root causes and tradeoffs.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills — able to convey complex topics to diverse audiences and drive alignment.
• Proven track record of leading multi-quarter initiatives across distributed teams with high ambiguity and high stakes.
• Ability to prioritize, adapt to changing contexts, and bias toward automation over manual process.
• Passion for crafting tools and processes that make engineers’ lives better.
