Security Engineer, Access Risk Intelligence And Security Mitigation

Security Engineer

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 Proactive Access Risk Intelligence and Security Mitigations (PRISM) team focuses on uncovering broad risks across the access landscape, gathering and distilling access intelligence from internal systems to fortify security, and deploying comprehensive measures to ensure every angle of access is understood and protected, including enforcing security invariants to prevent future regressions. The team also has recently expanded its focus into building the next-generation taxonomy for qualifying access risk, prototyping pipelines to uncover security risks associated with agentic identities, and architecting secure-by-default solutions scaled across the enterprise.

PRISM is the central engineering team responsible for the reduction of production infrastructure access abuse risks, which is driven through the collection of INTACT programs, including User Data Protection (UDP), AI Model Oversight, Access and Tooling (MOAT), Malicious Outages (MalOut) and Trusted Core Access (TCA).

As a Security Engineer, you will work on security research and risk mitigation systems, help scope security problems, and contribute to projects within PSS and across product areas to transform how Google manages and eliminates internal access risk.
