Robinhood

Robinhood is a financial services company that runs an investing platform offering commission-free trading of stocks, ETFs, options, crypto, futures and other assets through a single mobile and desktop experience. Its stated aim is to make finance accessible to people who have been excluded by fees and account minimums; the platform is used by millions of people and imposes no account minimum.

The product set includes the core Robinhood trading platform, Robinhood Legend, an advanced charting tool for active traders, and Robinhood Learn, a library of educational material for investors. The company also offers 24/5 trading, allowing orders in hundreds of popular stocks and ETFs to be placed around the clock five days a week.

Engineers at Robinhood work across fintech and financial technology, mobile application development, trading platform infrastructure, charting and data visualisation, and crypto infrastructure. The company frames its culture around removing friction from investing and around financial inclusion: building a system that serves a broad public rather than a wealthy minority.
