About the job

Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

We are part of the Information Security Engineering organization that aims to make it easy for Google, Alphabet and the world to ship secure products and keep our users safe. The Information Security Engineering team is a distributed team focusing on security research and mitigations, including for threats at the boundary between Security and Reliability to prevent multi-region critical disruption to Alphabet infrastructure and services.

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

• Review and develop secure operational practices, and provide security guidance for engineers and support staff.
• Review designs and look for vulnerabilities, both with one-time reviews and longer term engagements.
• Security and reliability reviews, research and reproduce vulnerabilities.
• Surface vulnerable patterns and propose design changes or mitigations to eliminate them.
• Prioritize across many issues in different domains (compute, network, cloud, storage, data center infrastructure) and collaborate with teams and partners across the company to resolve discovered issues, or infrastructure/services.
