Job Description:

Join us in building the future of finance. Our mission is to democratize finance for all. The Capacity & Efficiency Engineering team sits within Core Engineering and is responsible for building software that governs, attributes, forecasts, and reduces Robinhood’s AWS cloud spend. The team operates at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, data engineering, performance engineering and FinOps, with direct ownership over company-level cost metrics and consistent executive visibility. Their work ensures cloud resources are used efficiently, costs are attributable to the right owners, and inefficiencies are detected and addressed early. As the Engineering Manager, Capacity and Efficiency Engineering, you will lead a team of engineers and partner closely with Data Science, Technical Program Management, Infrastructure, and Product teams. You’ll guide technical direction across capacity governance and efficiency initiatives, balance accountability with empathetic people leadership, and ensure your team delivers software that measurably reduces cloud waste while improving cost transparency across the organization.

Job Responsibility:

Build and lead a team that develops software to detect, track, attribute, and reduce AWS cloud costs across services, workloads, and teams
Guide the design and delivery of internal systems for cost attribution, chargeback/showback, anomaly detection, and capacity forecasting
Partner with Data Science to create year-over-year forecasts, expected growth models, and unit economics that proactively flag cost risks
Lead initiatives to identify over-provisioned or unused infrastructure, and work with partner teams to right-size Kubernetes workloads, managed services, and databases
Hold teams accountable for cost regressions by ensuring ownership is clearly identified, explanations are documented, and remediation is tracked through completion

Requirements:

Experience managing and developing engineers, including setting clear goals, providing feedback, and supporting career growth
Hands-on experience running cloud-native systems on AWS, with a strong understanding of cloud cost models and capacity planning
Practical knowledge of Kubernetes efficiency, infrastructure right-sizing, and cost reduction strategies
Experience building or operating systems related to FinOps, cloud governance, or infrastructure efficiency
Strong communication skills, with the ability to navigate cost accountability conversations with partner teams and leaders

What we offer:

Performance-driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, equity ownership, and 401(k) matching
100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents
Lifestyle wallet — a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more
