Build the security guardrails that let Robinhood engineers ship secure code by default
Robinhood is hiring a Senior Security Engineer (5+ years) for its Product and Application Security team in Bellevue, WA / Menlo Park, CA (3 days/week in-person) to design systems that embed security earlier in the SDLC — reviewing designs, threat modeling, and building shared libraries, frameworks, and automated checks that make secure development the easy default. The role also touches AI security governance and automated secure design reviews, requiring production-grade coding in Python, Go, or similar alongside security expertise.
