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. The Alphabet Identity team manages identity risks for Alphabet including how we onboard, authenticate, and ensure that only the right folks gain access to the sensitive data at Google. That means how we use physical security tokens, badges, trusted platform modules, single sign on, identity verification, biometrics, and other controls across all our environments including Corp, Production and Cloud but also with all our third-party connections including across various SaaS, Bets, and Acquisitions. The work here controls the daily experience of every Googler (and also the daily experience of the many nation state attackers trying to gain access to Google). Identity manages this for Google by setting policy, engineering solutions, and working with partners across the company. In addition, the Identity Team partners with internal teams on hardware development, with external standards bodies and with major vendors on new innovative solutions to move the industry forward. The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google's flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google's products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
