About the job
There's no such thing as a "safe system" - only safer systems. Our Security team works to create and maintain the safest operating environment for Google's users and developers. As a Security Engineer, you help protect network boundaries, keep computer systems and network devices hardened against attacks and provide security services to protect highly sensitive data like passwords and customer information. Security Engineers work directly with network equipment and actively monitor our systems for attacks and intrusions. You also work with software engineers to proactively identify and fix security flaws and vulnerabilities.
You use your industry experience to own and drive the resolution of complex security incidents, policy questions and technical security issues.
The Information and Infrastructure Protection team is crucial for Google's secure operations, empowering Googlers to innovate on a robust and secure foundation. Our mission is to develop resilient services and platforms, making it exceptionally difficult for attackers to succeed.
In this role, you will be safeguarding user data by preventing attacks on Googlers and their systems. You will operate on the frontline, securing devices like laptops, desktops, cloud instances, and mobile devices. Your work will focus on strengthening these platforms, measuring their security state, and assigning a trust level based on these measurements.
Given users are frequently targeted as initial entry points for attackers, you will ensure their systems are equipped with effective tools and controls for prevention and detection. You will be striking a crucial balance between security and user productivity. Our solutions integrate into Google's core infrastructure, enhancing security for hundreds of thousands of users and over a million devices.
The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
Responsibilities
- Partner with individual contributors, technical leads, managers, partner teams and executive leadership to prioritize security engineering efforts to address risks and meet business objectives.
