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 be a trusted partner with one of our products to help
secure their existing products, and help new products be developed with security
in mind. You will work directly with the software engineers, hardware engineers,
product managers, and UX researchers to identify and resolve security issues.
This will involve static and dynamic code analysis, application penetration
testing, and design review. Your security reviews will uncover bugs, and we
encourage exploit development to demonstrate the impact of a vulnerability. We
also go a step further and develop individual or systemic fixes to common
vulnerability patterns. You will also partner with other security teams full of
privacy engineers, software engineers, and researchers to ensure our products
are getting the best security the industry has to offer.
