Role
Who you are
- Experience leading security, platform, or infrastructure teams at scale, with clear ownership of strategy, execution, and outcomes
- Deep expertise in application and product security, with a strong understanding of modern software development and platform architectures
- Proven ability to operate as a technical leader and influencer, not only a people manager
- Track record of partnering with senior engineering and business stakeholders to drive security outcomes through collaboration rather than gatekeeping
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, set direction, and make sound risk-based decisions that scale with the organization
What the job involves
- As a Senior Engineering Manager, Product & Application Security, you will set strategy and lead execution for product and application security across multiple domains
- You will manage and grow a team of security and software engineers while operating as a technical authority and trusted advisor to senior engineering and business leaders
- This role owns high-impact security outcomes end-to-end, including AI platform security, automated security tooling, M&A security efforts, and the evolution of product security review processes, with accountability for both near-term delivery and long-term scalability
- Set the multi-quarter technical and organizational strategy for product and application security, aligned with company priorities and risk posture
- Lead, develop, and retain a team of security and software engineers, including coaching senior ICs and building future leaders
- Own the design, delivery, and long-term evolution of AI platform security, governance frameworks, and security visibility
- Establish and scale product security review practices that shift security engagement earlier in the product lifecycle and are adopted broadly across engineering
- Act as a senior security partner to engineering, product, and business leadership, influencing architectural decisions and balancing security risk with business outcomes
- Drive high performance by setting clear, focused goals, giving real-time feedback, stretching top talent, and scaling impact through focus, innovation, and tech
- Hire and retain top talent by setting a high bar, hiring only those who raise it, investing in onboarding, and addressing talent issues quickly and fairly
- Create community by connecting work to purpose, removing friction while prioritizing safety, building trust and inclusion, and leading from the front with integrity
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.
