What the job involves
- Robinhood’s Security Operations team is seeking a strategic and technical Senior Manager to lead our Offensive Security and Vulnerability Management programs.

- You will also spearhead our Autonomic Security Operations strategy, scaling security through automation, codification, and continuous validation. By transforming security knowledge into reusable, testable artifacts, you’ll help deliver ongoing assurance in our controls and remediation efforts, while amplifying the deep expertise and impact of our teams
- You’ll lead high-caliber teams focused on internal offensive security engagements, such as red teaming and penetration testing, as well as vulnerability research and agile vulnerability lifecycle management, working cross-functionally to translate findings into meaningful security and business outcomes
- This role is part of our dynamic Security business, reporting directly to the Head of Security Operations
- Lead the Offensive Security team in planning and executing red team operations, internal penetration tests, and adversary emulation campaigns
- Oversee the Vulnerability Management team responsible for running our bug bounty program as well as continuous discovery, triage, and remediation of vulnerabilities across infrastructure,applications, and cloud environments
- Define and drive the strategy for Autonomic Security Operations, investing in automated testing and validation pipelines that codify security knowledge and detection coverage
- Partner closely with engineering, product, threat intelligence and detection & response stakeholders to ensure controls are continuously tested and vulnerabilities are effectively surfaced
- Build processes, tooling, and dashboards to track and communicate vulnerability and control assurance metrics to stakeholder and leadership
- Contribute to long-term security planning by identifying control gaps, operational bottlenecks, and opportunities to scale security through automation
Our take
For years, traditional brokers ruled the share trading realm, charging hefty fees that locked out everyday investors. Robinhood emerged as a disruptor, offering commission-free trading and opening the door to a new generation. Its innovative model thrives on premium features like increased buying power and extended trading hours, attracting a younger audience drawn to meme stocks like AMC and GameStop.
But Robinhood's not just about quick thrills. The company claims its mission lies in catering to "the unmet needs of the next generation," evidenced by its "Robinhood Retirement" launch, targeting gig-economy workers often excluded from financial planning. This commitment to accessibility aligns with its core values.
However, 2023 brought unexpected turbulence, as Robinhood became entangled in the FTX cryptocurrency exchange bankruptcy scandal when it emerged that the US Department of Justice seized hundreds of millions of dollars of the company's shares tied to FTX founder Bankman-Fried. Despite these challenges, Robinhood successfully bought back the missing stock, and its impact on democratizing finance remains undeniable.
