Full Job Description
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.

Our team is building an investment account for every child born in America, in partnership with the U.S. Treasury - one that grows with them into adulthood. Families shut out of the market fall further behind every year. Getting every child invested early is how that gap begins to close.

The app - an entirely new category of financial product - debuted at #3 in the App Store and #1 in Finance. Now we design what comes next: new platforms and new experiences that will shape how the next generation of Americans starts building wealth.

As a Staff Product Designer, you'll lead that work from early concept through national launch - helping define product direction and setting the visual and interaction bar for everything we ship on one of Robinhood's most visible product lines. Partnering with senior leadership, engineering, legal, research, data science, and marketing, you'll turn complex requirements into experiences that feel simple and trustworthy, down to the last pixel.

This role is for a designer at the top of their craft who wants to make a national impact. Success looks like a generation of Americans who turn 18 already invested, and who grew up understanding how money grows.

This role is based in our Menlo Park, CA or New York, NY offices, 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 end-to-end design for new products - from early concept through national launch - and keep shipping fast once they're live.
  • Set the craft bar: typography, spacing, motion, and visual consistency across a product millions of families rely on.
  • Translate complex, ambiguous requirements into experiences that feel simple, trusted, and beautifully executed.
  • Partner tightly with engineering to protect design intent through implementation - you care what it looks like when it ships, not just in the file.
  • Build and maintain design systems and patterns that scale craft quality as the product line grows.
  • Raise the bar on design work across the team, reviewing with a high standard for detail and polish.
  • Present design direction and rationale clearly and confidently to senior leadership.
What you bring
  • A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional visual craft - precise typography, considered spacing systems, polished motion and micro-interaction work.
  • A proven track record of shipping pixel-perfect work at scale, not just concepts.
  • Fluency in design systems and the discipline to build for consistency across a growing, high-visibility surface area.
  • The ability to operate in ambiguity while holding a high craft bar under deadline pressure.
  • Experience partnering closely enough with engineering to protect visual fidelity all the way through implementation.
  • The ownership mindset of a Staff designer - you set the standard, you protect the quality, and you make the team better.
  • This position is restricted to US citizens or lawful permanent residents due to legal requirements.
What we offer
  • Challenging, high-impact work to grow your career
  • Performance driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, equity ownership, and 401(k) matching
  • Top Tier benefits to fuel your work, including 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents
  • Access to the Robinhood Employee Fund that gives eligible US employees the opportunity to invest in a private employee fund that provides exposure to Robinhood Ventures funds.
  • Access to the best AI tools on the market and continuous AI skill-building for every employee, technical or not.
  • Lifestyle wallet - a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more
  • Employer-paid life & disability insurance, fertility benefits, and mental health benefits
  • Time off to recharge including company holidays, paid time off, sick time, parental leave, and more!
  • Exceptional office experience with catered meals, events, and comfortable workspaces.
