Job description
from Google careersThe PRISM (Proactive Access Risk Intelligence and Security Mitigations) team is part of the Access Security Team organization. We proactively focus on uncovering broad risks across the access landscape, gathering and distilling access intelligence from internal systems to fortify security, and deploying comprehensive measures to ensure every angle of access is understood and protected, including enforcing security invariants to prevent future regressions. We are also building the next-generation taxonomy for qualifying access risk, prototyping end-to-end pipelines to uncover security risks associated with agentic identities, and architecting secure-by-default solutions scaled across the enterprise.
As a Security Engineer, you will be working on security research and risk mitigation systems, help scope security problems, and contribute to projects across product areas to transform how Google manages and eliminates internal access risk.
In this role, you will be at the forefront of redefining Google’s internal access landscape. You will not just respond to risks; you will be anticipating them by building the next-generation taxonomy of access risk and architecting 'secure-by-default' solutions that protect our most critical infrastructure. From modeling complex attack paths to securing the rise of agentic identities, you will lead high-impact projects that transform how Google proactively manages risk at an enterprise scale.
