Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of professional experience in information security, combining security engineering, IT systems administration, and enterprise infrastructure
- Proven experience in one or more of the following: managing and securing modern identity systems (e.g., Okta), or deep experience blending security engineering with systems/infrastructure engineering. (We're hiring for two closely related roles on this team — identity platform depth is a strong plus for one, broader security+ systems generalist range for the other.)
- Exposure to or hands-on experience with AI tools and agent workflows (e.g., OpenAI, Claude, Cursor, or custom API integrations)
- Practical experience working within cloud environments (specifically Google Cloud Platform) and modern software development processes
- Broad security generalist skill set, including device compliance enforcement, binary/plugin/extension evaluation, behavior tracing, vulnerability management, and security policy enforcement
- Strong ownership mentality with an adaptable "builder" mindset, capable of driving automation and technical initiatives independently

- As a Senior Corporate Security Engineer on our Corporate Systems team, you will operate at the center of our enterprise security infrastructure, maintaining the control plane for user-facing security tooling and building innovative solutions that keep our employees and platform secure!
- In this role, you will combine security engineering, systems administration, and hands-on AI agent development to drive key automation and safety initiatives
- Joining a lean, high-impact team, you will have high visibility and direct empowerment to take strategic initiative, solve complex technical challenges, and shape Robinhood's AI security posture
- Build, maintain, and evolve enterprise security tools that power key user-facing security flows, including endpoint security, login/authentication, and security telemetry
- Secure AI interactions across the company by designing safety guardrails and integrating agentic tools into enterprise workflows
- Automate evidence-gathering processes for Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and internal/external regulatory audits
- Support enterprise vulnerability management programs and maintain operational resilience and uptime across core systems
- Tackle evolving enterprise security challenges, such as protecting against active persistent threats (APTs) and securing the digital footprint of our executives
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Security Operations, GRC, Legal, and IT engineering partners to maintain a seamless, high-trust security environment
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.
