About The Job

Trust and Safety (T&S) Intel is hiring an Intelligence Analyst to own the strategic risk picture for two interconnected threat domains: system abuse (e.g., jailbreaks, prompt injections, adversarial AI exploitation), and fraud and scams (e.g., romance scams, investment fraud, impersonation, account takeover, marketplace fraud, and AI-enabled scam tooling). You'll synthesize signal across the company into a coherent view of where both threat landscapes stand and where they're heading, converting disparate inputs into decision-ready intelligence that shapes policy, enforcement, detection, and model evaluations. You'll partner with investigators, product teams, and cross-functional analysts, translating intelligence into action.

The Intel Analysis team produces the strategic risk intelligence behind T&S Intel's mission to keep Google's products safe, useful, and trusted. We identify, analyze, and prioritize threats spanning deceptive behavior, emerging model capabilities, fraud and scams, global events, violent extremism, responsible content, and system abuse vulnerabilities. Embedded in T&S operational, policy, and enforcement work, our analysis shapes how Google executives and product teams respond to fast-moving threats, from election-period crises to novel abuse patterns.

At Google we work hard to earn our users’ trust every day. Trust & Safety is Google’s team of abuse fighting and user trust experts working daily to make the internet a safer place. We partner with teams across Google to deliver bold solutions in abuse areas such as malware, spam and account hijacking. A team of Analysts, Policy Specialists, Engineers, and Program Managers, we work to reduce risk and fight abuse across all of Google’s products, protecting our users, advertisers, and publishers across the globe in over 40 languages.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $116000 - $166000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
