Ship customer-facing features for Robinhood's credit card and banking product, mobile to backend

Robinhood's Credit Card & Banking Product Engineering team is hiring a full stack engineer (3+ years) to build across the mobile app and backend for its 5-star standalone credit card and banking product. The role expects React/React Native proficiency plus backend chops (stack is Scala & TypeScript, though prior experience with those exact languages isn't required), full ownership of features from design to launch, and fast onboarding — the JD explicitly frames it as shipping to production on day one.
