Job description
from Google careersThere'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.
Uppercase is a specialized team of security engineers dedicated to identifying and mitigating threat actors before they can achieve their mission. Originating from Alphabet's moonshot factory, X, and developed within Chronicle (now Google SecOps), we leverage expertise in big data, cybersecurity, machine learning, and large-scale cloud computing to engineer next-generation security solutions. In this role, you will partner with the broader security community to ensure the advantage remains with those fighting cybercrime.
