  • 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.

    As a member of Security Response, you'll use broad security experience, detection, forensics and incident response knowledge to investigate and assess escalations, then use professional emergency management procedures to lead teams of engineers, lawyers, executives and others toward fast, effective responses to any situation.
