Google creates products and services that make the world a better place, and gTech’s role is to help bring them to life. Everything we do aims to ensure our customers benefit from the full potential of Google products.

gTech Risk helps protect Google and its users by identifying and implementing controls for significant risks. To ensure gTech's security and agility, the team analyzes gTech business processes to find control gaps, collaborates with stakeholders to resolve these gaps, and provides risk expertise to engineer solutions.

gTech Risk Solutions Engineering is executing a strategic transformation from a reactive manual process led organization to a proactive engineering powerhouse. Operating as a federated security partner to Google's central security organizations, we design and build contextualized security solutions tailored specifically for the gTech business ecosystem. Our mission is upfront risk prevention through technical delivery excellence, shifting the paradigm from unsustainable "risk‑chasing" to "prevention by design."

In this role, you are the observability and feedback engine of the team. You will ensure our autonomous remediations and agentic workflows are operating securely and effectively.

You will design and monitor the automated flows of agentic tooling and manage the operational fallback tiers when AI workflows flag anomalies or cannot manage required strategies for gTech's Access ecosystem. Utilizing your deep security domain knowledge, you will conduct actor and account access analysis, develop strategies for least privliedge, perform complex log analysis (SQL/Plx), and triage incident alerts. Crucially, your ground-level intelligence will feed directly back into our engineering roadmap, converting identified gaps and opportunities into systemic, automated prevention controls.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
