Security Engineer, Offensive Security/Red Team

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.

In this role, you will perform realistic offensive security exercises to simulate real attacks, test and improve our detection and response capabilities, and to identify how attackers could infiltrate and move inside our infrastructure.

With your technical expertise, you will come up with scenarios that advanced adversaries might try to compromise our security, and execute these attacks in a safe manner and in accordance with our rules of engagement. As a member of the offensive security team, you will both emulate the techniques used by known hacker groups, and come up with new techniques that adversaries might attempt in the future.

After each exercise, you will thoroughly document any findings, and present the results to colleagues as well as leadership. You will work closely with members of the blue teams to improve our detection capabilities, and other parts of security team and affected product teams to design defense controls that limit attackers’ ability to move inside our network. You will use your excellent judgement to suggest improvements where they are most impactful.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $147,000-$211,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
