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 are a recognized expert in at least two security domains and use your leadership skills to manage a team that sets the direction and goals for solving Google-wide problems. You identify fundamental security problems at Google and drives major security improvements in Google infrastructure.

At Google's scale, our security approach requires constant innovation to keep all our customers safe. In this role, you will utilize the latest AI advances to ensure cloud products meet the highest security standards, discover novel vulnerabilities across billions of lines of code, and automate fixing issues before they reach production. You will be transforming security into a seamless, automated part of every Google Cloud developer's workflow. In this role, you will lead Security and Software Engineers in collaboration with Cloud product teams to proactively identify and address software security flaws.
