In this role, you will be a member of our global on-call response team and use your security experience and Digital Forensic and Incident Response (DFIR) domain knowledge to investigate and respond to escalations from across Alphabet. You will use professional emergency management procedures to lead teams of engineers, lawyers, executives and others toward any situation and mitigate and resolve security incidents. You will also assist in technical assessments of security issues alongside other Security Engineers.
