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.

The Enterprise Security Operations (ESO) team manages infrastructure security operations at scale globally across Google using process improvements and automation. ESO's work involves all aspects of information security and provides members with opportunities for growth and investment in a variety of security domains.

In this role, you will create and maintain the safest operating environment for Google's users and developers and will work with network equipment and actively monitor our systems for attacks and intrusions.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products.

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.
