Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of total experience, including 2–3+ years operating at a senior scope in threat intelligence, brand protection, or cyber investigations
- Hands-on experience tracking criminal ecosystems tied to phishing, scams, impersonation, fraud, and infrastructure abuse, and the ability to move from isolated indicators to campaign- and actor-level analysis
- Familiarity with domain registration patterns, DNS and certificate transparency analysis, cloud and hosting abuse across providers (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure, VPS), and attacker monetization methods
- Experience using OSINT tooling, SQL, Python, notebooks, SIEM or SOAR platforms, OpenCTI, and case management systems to analyze data and automate workflows

- Experience contributing to team initiatives and supporting peers, with a high level of accountability and sound risk judgment in ambiguous situations
What the job involves
- 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!

- 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
- Proactively hunt and map criminal ecosystems targeting Robinhood and its customers, and translate intelligence into detections and coordinated defenses that disrupt adversaries before they cause harm
- Build and maintain a comprehensive "Universe of Threats" by identifying, tracking, and prioritizing adversaries across phishing, scams, impersonation, fraud, and infrastructure abuse
- Support and contribute to a proactive threat intelligence lifecycle through industry partnerships, collaboration with trusted peers and federal authorities, and cultivating online personas to generate early warning capabilities that protect Robinhood's business operations
- Investigate attacker infrastructure across domains, DNS, certificate transparency logs, cloud providers, and telecom platforms, and convert findings into concrete detections, controls, and customer protections
- Coordinate threat actor infrastructure takedowns with hosting providers, domain registrars, cloud platforms, and other infrastructure partners to disrupt adversary operations
- Leverage and improve intelligence workflows using OSINT tooling, enrichment pipelines, data analysis tools, and case management systems to scale analysis and reporting
- Partner with Detection & Response, Automation, Customer Trust & Safety (Fraud and Financial Crimes), Security Engineering, Corporate Security, and Risk to prioritize threats based on measurable business risk
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. Since then, expectations have continued to evolve, with investors looking not just to lower costs, but for simpler tools, clearer information, and guidance that makes the market easier to understand.
Robinhood was built to meet those changing expectations, designed from the start as a mobile-first platform that makes investor more accessible and less intimidating for people at every stage of their financial journey. Through its app, users can trade stocks and other financial instruments while benefiting from a clean interface and built-in educational support, helping them move from curiosity to confidence without unnecessary complexity.
Recently, Robinhood has strenghtned its impact too, particularly in the UK. With the launch of AI-powered Digests within its Robinhood Cortex assistant that helps users understand what's driving stock movements in plain English, while upcoming options trading and expanded educational resources add flexibility and depth. Together, these steps position Robinhood as a platform evolving alongside its users, blending technology and education to stay ahead in an ever-changing investment landscape.
