About the team + role
The Service Discovery and Communication team is a critical component of Robinhood's infrastructure and has some of the highest throughput systems in the organization! Our products are powered by a multitude of powerful microservices working in unison. In order for these microservices to work, they need to be able to locate and communicate with each other. The technologies we use are Python/Go with Django as the framework of choice, and C++ is a bonus as we construct our global edge. We also use tools like Envoy, Nginx, and gRPC for inter-service communication. We build and deploy the fundamental systems that enable this real-time, inter-service communication all while being highly-scaleable, robust and reliable!
