About the team + role
The Apollo team provides a centrally-managed, community-supported platform that integrates closely with each step of the development workflow at Robinhood. We define a set of standards and configuration that all new applications should follow. By implementing this interface, services immediately gain access to a streamlined, end-to-end developer workflow supported by Apollo that Robinhoodies can use to safely and effectively develop, ship, and validate features.
The team focuses on 3 specific areas of focus.
- Personal Development Environments: isolated production-like environments that allow engineers and non-engineers alike to experiment and explore.
- Integration Testing: end-to-end, cross-service testing that runs on every diff and gates lands to master
- Shared Tooling: libraries, UIs, and other tooling critical to the development process to abstract away complexities for our users.
