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 Technical Accounting team sits at the intersection of innovation and rigor — translating novel products and complex transactions into sound, defensible accounting positions. We're looking for a collaborative, analytically sharp problem-solver to join us as a Technical Accounting Manager supporting new products and strategic transactions.

In this role, you'll evaluate emerging and often ambiguous fact patterns, form well-reasoned accounting conclusions, and help shape how new products and deals are structured from an accounting perspective. You'll work cross-functionally with Product, Legal, Controllership, Tax, Finance, Financial Reporting, Internal Controls, and our external auditors to ensure Robinhood's accounting keeps pace with its fast-evolving business.

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.
