About the job
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.
In this role, you will ensure Google Distributed Cloud Air-Gapped meets compliance requirements for public sector, defense industry, critical national infrastructure, and financial sector customers by establishing governance frameworks aligned with NIST SP 800-53-FedRAMP and other standards for continuous compliance. You will leverage integrated cloud services, machine learning technologies, and Kubernetes API-based ecosystems with flexible hardware options. You will require specialized knowledge of GDC air-gapped security protocols, architecture, security regulations, compliance controls, system-level designs, and certification audits across commercial, U.S. government, foreign governments, and ISO standards, with the ability to craft narratives communicating these concepts effectively.
Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
