Senior Software Engineer, Load and Fault Environments

What you'll do Design, build, and maintain load testing and fault injection infrastructure that enables engineering teams across Robinhood to validate system resilience as part of their standard development workflow. Own platform components end-to-end — from architecture and implementation through testing, deployment, and iteration — ensuring the tools you build are reliable, scalable, and developer-friendly. Collaborate with infrastructure and product engineering teams to understand their resilience testing needs, translate those needs into platform capabilities, and drive adoption of shared tooling. Contribute to defining steady-state hypotheses, blast radius controls, and fault injection primitives that make chaos experiments safe, repeatable, and actionable at scale. Write clean, well-tested code and participate in technical design discussions that raise the engineering bar across the team. What you bring 5+ years of software engineering experience with strong coding skills in Python, Go, or a similar language — this role requires building production systems, not just operating them. Experience designing or contributing to load testing, fault injection, chaos engineering, or developer productivity infrastructure in a distributed systems environment. Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals — how services fail, how failures propagate, and how to design experiments that surface meaningful signal without causing unintended outages. Familiarity with Kubernetes and container-based infrastructure; experience integrating resilience tooling into CI/CD pipelines is a plus. A builder's approach to developer tooling — you care about ergonomics, adoption, and making it easy for other engineers to do the right thing.
