About the job
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.
The Disruption Team within the Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) is focused on enabling significant degradation of threat actors’ missions, operations and capabilities. Our team focuses on the most significant threat actors targeting our users, customers, and the broader online ecosystem. We do so through the identification and refinement of disruption opportunities which bring together a toolbox of both technical and nontechnical capabilities. We target both nation-state and criminal actors for disruption, prioritizing based on the level of expected impact to the actor and our users. To accomplish our mission we partner deeply with a wide array of stakeholders. This includes mission teams within GTIG Threat Operations responsible for tracking and analyzing attacker groups, broader GTIG teams such as Intel Delivery, and an array of product and abuse teams across Alphabet. We also partner with a wide array of external stakeholders including governments and industry partners.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
