Careers
Build the desk that pays its holders.
J.T. Marlin is a small team running a tokenized stock desk and token-stock pair fee distributions on Robinhood Chain. We hire for work rate and judgment, and we give people real ownership early.

The offer
What working here actually looks like
You own a real slice of the product from the first month, with a senior teammate close enough to unblock you and far enough to let you learn. We would rather give you something that matters than ease you in on busywork.
Compensation is a competitive base plus a performance share tied to outcomes you can actually influence. As what you own grows, so does the share.
We keep the team small on purpose. It means fewer handoffs, more context, and a shorter line between an idea and something shipped onchain.
The ladder
Four stages, and the path is clear
You advance when your ownership and your impact grow, not on tenure. We are direct about where you stand.
01Associate
Base plus performance
Onboarding, mentorship, and real ownership of a slice of the work from the first month.
02Senior
Base plus larger performance share
You own outcomes end to end and help set the standard for the people around you.
03Lead
Base plus team performance
You run a pod, grow the people on it, and carry a share of what the pod ships.
04Director
Base plus company performance
You own a function, set its direction, and are measured on the whole of it.
What we screen for
Three things, none of them on a resume
01Work rate
How much you get done on an ordinary day, not your best one. It is the variable that most reliably predicts who thrives here.
02Coachability
Whether you can take a correction from anyone on the team, apply it, and keep moving without ego getting in the way.
03Judgment
Whether you can tell what matters from what is merely urgent, and make a sensible call when nobody is watching.
Questions we always get
Answered before you have to ask
What kind of people do you hire?
Engineers, market makers, and client teams who care about getting the details right. We hire for work rate and judgment more than pedigree.
Is the role remote or in person?
Our desk is in Commack, New York, and most roles are in person. Some engineering roles are hybrid. We are direct about which is which in the interview.
What is the interview process?
A short intro call, a practical exercise relevant to the role, and a final round with the team you would work alongside. We aim to move quickly and keep it respectful of your time.
Do you sponsor or support certifications?
Yes. We support the licensing and certifications relevant to your role, and we invest in the tools and training you need to do the work well.
