About The Position

We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. We’re looking for bold thinkers. Sharp problem-solvers. Builders who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood isn’t a place for complacency, it’s where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. We’re a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards.
The Threat Intelligence team reduces organizational risk by rapidly detecting, understanding, and disrupting adversary activity. We research criminal ecosystems targeting our brand, customers, and infrastructure, and work with partners to translate that intelligence into detections, controls, and customer protections. Our work enables Security, Engineering, Trust & Safety, and executive leaders to focus resources where risk is highest. We operate with a strong sense of ownership, clear communication, and a commitment to protecting customers so they can confidently participate in the financial system!
As a Staff Security Analyst, Threat Intelligence, you will operate at the forefront of advanced and evolving threats targeting Robinhood and our customers. You will actively hunt for emerging phishing, scam, impersonation, fraud, and infrastructure abuse campaigns while building scalable systems that turn intelligence into action. This role combines hands-on investigation, program design, mentorship, and stakeholder engagement. Your work will shape proactive controls, influence product and security decisions, and strengthen our overall threat defense strategy.
This role is based in our Bellevue, WA, Menlo Park, CA or New York City, NY office(s), with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.
At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams.
