About the job

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 YouTube Security Engineering team builds and deploys a combination of reactive and proactive systems to manage security threats against the platform and the community. Whereas common practice in fighting abuse relies heavily on enforcement, the team is investing in innovative strategies and designs for prevention. The YouTube teams design solutions and deploy large systems that span multiple Google clusters, thousands of Google employees, millions of creators and billions of users. To succeed, the security team must recognize and neutralize the greatest security threats facing the platform, while promoting a culture of responsibility and the application of security best-practices throughout YouTube.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.

Responsibilities

Identify security issues and implement and design security controls, tools, and services to improve security systems and processes.
Lead the security strategy for YouTube. Review and develop secure operational practices, and provide security guidance for engineers and support staff.
Lead and consult on security incidents across YouTube products. Respond to vulnerabilities with repos, mitigation, and hardening.
Engage with pen testing teams to identify vulnerabilities and use techniques including reverse engineering, fuzzing, and static analysis.
Review designs for security gaps, both with one-time and longer term engagements. Explore foundational/Large Language Model (LLM) models for identifying security gaps in product areas.
