Security Engineer, Detection

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.

In this role, you will build detection mechanisms for attacker techniques tactics and procedures, develop systems to automate remediation, conduct threat hunting, and perform network and systems forensics, as well as malware and indicator analysis. We are responsible for managing all malicious activity on Google's networks. We perform analysis of threats on our corporate, production, and acquisition environments. We hunt for and help respond to advanced (APT) attackers and insider threats. Our goal is to build a fully automated detection and response machine, an automated Security Operation Center (SOC).
