Our Security team works to create and maintain the safest operating environment for Google's users and developers. Security Engineers work with network equipment and actively monitor our systems for attacks and intrusions. In this role, you will also work with software engineers to proactively identify and fix security flaws and vulnerabilities.
The goal is to embed security practices throughout the product life-cycle, ensuring the trustworthiness of the devices, apps, software services, and platforms that the product area develops.
The Security team is composed of engineers that prevent, detect, and mitigate vulnerabilities across a variety of product lines and services, and collaborates with product development teams on system design, hardening, code analysis, security testing, and other security assurance functions with the goal of minimizing the risk of abuse and increasing the cost of vulnerability exploitation.
In this role, you will drive technical engagements focused on the identification of novel attack vectors, vulnerabilities, and the development of exploits for on-device targets. You will be responsible for the technical direction of vulnerability research and exploit development program, whose scope includes a number of Made-by-Google device product lines covering phones, tablets, wearables, content streamers, cameras, and other smart home devices. The main layers of the device stack that you will work on are SoC, ROM and firmware, operating system, including RTOS, Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and security controllers, wireless connectivity, and other subsystems.
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices & Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices & Services team is making people's lives better through technology.
- Develop risk-driven offensive security project roadmaps that balance new products under development and products that have already launched.
- Lead offensive security engagements with participants from product teams, platform teams, and security assurance groups.
- Conduct security research to discover novel attack vectors and vulnerabilities, and demonstrate their exploitability, lead collaboration initiatives with other offensive security teams at Google and with external partners.
- Drive fundamental improvements to products and platforms to address exposure, risk threats, and vulnerability patterns.
- Define the technical ideas of offensive security program and mentor members of the offensive security team.
