About the team + role
Market Data’s charter is to provide Robinhood users with the most informative, relevant, accurate, and performant market data to help them make the investing decisions that will shape their financial future. As a foundational team in Brokerage, we want to enable our users to invest in any asset, anytime, any way, and from anywhere.
Today, Market Data Platform is not a singular feature; rather it spans the entire Robinhood user experience with a foundational service that provides data to power experiences across asset classes such as advanced charts, new trading hours, portfolio views, and even new areas that will be going out to the world soon. Nearly every Robinhood feature operates with some Market Data involvement.
