About the team + role
The Networking team’s mission is to build and deploy the fundamental systems that enable real-time, low-latency, inter-service communication in a highly-scalable, robust, and reliable manner.
As Engineering Manager, Cloud Networking, you will lead the networking team in delivering the next generation of Robinhood’s cloud networking infrastructure, making strategic decisions that balance risk, innovation, and long-term maintainability. Robinhood’s products are powered by a multitude of microservices working together. In order for these microservices to work together, they need to be able to locate and connect with each other. We use Kubernetes for our container orchestration, Terraform as our infrastructure as code framework, Istio for our service mesh, Envoy as our edge and service proxy, and Unbound and CoreDNS as our DNS.
