This team also focuses on increasing the capabilities of each product team to develop more secure products by design and by default, from patterns, tools and frameworks to increasing the skill level of embedded security leads. In this role, you will help to ensure that our software and systems are designed and implemented to the highest security standards. You will perform technical security assessments, code reviews, and vulnerability testing to highlight risk, helping Google teams and partners to improve security, and work on a wide variety of software designs and technology stacks.
