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 Security Platform team is responsible for the secure lifecycle, governance, and protection of Robinhood's most sensitive user data.

The team works closely with security, infrastructure, and product engineering partners to ensure data is both usable and protected. You will contribute to systems that support authentication, third-party integrations, and emerging AI-driven use cases.

You will own the systems that handle authentication, authorization, and privacy-preserving data operations. This role involves close collaboration with engineers focused on access management, infrastructure, and data systems. Your work will directly support efforts to improve system reliability, strengthen data protections, and enable new product capabilities using secure data.
This role is based in our Bellevue, WA office, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.
