Job description

About the team + role

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 Senior 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 Menlo Park, CA office, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.

What you’ll do

• 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.

What you bring

• 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.
• Ability to translate complex technical threats into clear business risk for technical teams and immediate stakeholders through strong written and verbal communication.
• Experience contributing to team initiatives and supporting peers, with a high level of accountability and sound risk judgment in ambiguous situations.

What we offer

• Challenging, high-impact work to grow your career.
• Performance-driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, equity ownership, and 401(k) matching.
• Best-in-class benefits to fuel your work, including 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents.
• Lifestyle wallet — a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more.
• Employer-paid life & disability insurance, fertility benefits, and mental health benefits.
• Time off to recharge including company holidays, paid time off, sick time, parental leave, and more!
• Exceptional office experience with catered meals, events, and comfortable workspaces.
