Senior Security Engineer, Digital Forensics

Senior Security Engineer, Digital Forensics

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.

Google's Detection and Response team finds and responds to security concerns 24/7 across 3 regions. In Security Response, you will be a member of our global on-call response team and use your security experience and Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR)-specific domain knowledge to investigate and respond to escalations from across Alphabet. Security Response team members train and grow in forensic investigation and crisis management skills, specializing in one or the other as their career grows.

Responsibilities:

• Perform investigations on a wide variety of security and privacy events from various sources to determine whether they pose a risk to Google.
• Participate in large-scale security and privacy incidents, write incident reports, and participate in post-mortems.
• Participate in internal training to make sure forensic best practices are followed.
• Work with teams from around Google to discover new investigative and forensics capabilities.
• Develop internal and Open Source tools used to respond to incidents (e.g., digital forensic toolkits) to support Google's unique environment.
