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.

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 Fraud Investigation team’s mission is to ensure Robinhood customers have swift identification and resolution of fraud-related issues. We do this by interacting with customers when their accounts encounter fraud, placing temporary restrictions on accounts if needed, investigating customer-surfaced and RH-identified fraud, communicating in a timely manner, and efficiently restoring and remediating accounts to their pre-fraud status. We train and employ skilled and knowledgeable investigators, deliver consistent and high-quality support, and minimize impact from fraud losses to protect our customers and our company's financial health.
