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.

Our Trust and Safety team has the critical responsibility of protecting Google's users by ensuring online safety by fighting fraud and abuse across Google products like Chrome, Play, Gmail, and Search.

In this role, you will understand the user's point of view and are passionate about using your combined technical, problem-solving, and strategic acumen to protect our users. You work globally and cross-functionally with Google Engineers and product managers to navigate challenging online safety situations and handle abuse and fraud at scale.
