Security Engineer, Offensive Security/Red Team

Google • Sunnyvale, CA

14h • $147,000 - $211,000

About The Position

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.

In this role, you will perform realistic offensive security exercises to
simulate real attacks, test and improve our detection and response capabilities,
and to identify how attackers could infiltrate and move inside our
infrastructure.

With your technical expertise, you will come up with scenarios that advanced
adversaries might try to compromise our security, and execute these attacks in a
safe manner and in accordance with our rules of engagement. As a member of the
offensive security team, you will both emulate the techniques used by known
hacker groups, and come up with new techniques that adversaries might attempt in
the future.

After each exercise, you will thoroughly document any findings, and present the
results to colleagues as well as leadership. You will work closely with members
of the blue teams to improve our detection capabilities, and other parts of
security team and affected product teams to design defense controls that limit
attackers' ability to move inside our network. You will use your excellent
judgement to suggest improvements where they are most impactful.
