About the job
Google's Devices and Services Security Engineering team is hiring a Security Engineer to focus on Vulnerability Research and Automation.
Our team ensures that Google business units like Pixel, Nest, Fitbit, and Virtual Reality, develop and maintain trustworthy products. We drive the security development lifecycle of a number of technologies, including new services, apps and products, from design to launch, and do so in collaboration with many teams, including hardware, software, site reliability engineering, and privacy. Our engineers also support programs like Offensive Security and Research, Vulnerability Management, Analysis and Testing Automation, Reviews, Technical Consultations, and Vulnerability Rewards, allowing us to directly protect Google users by shipping technologies that are designed and implemented with security in mind.
Identifying and driving resolution to security issues in a deep and broad product stack requires strong technical security expertise and the ability to work with partner teams to continuously reduce security risk. This is an opportunity to contribute to our vulnerability research program that covers a number of technologies developed by Google and by our industry partners, and to contribute to the automation of our vulnerability identification and analysis functions. Our goal is to identify novel threats and attack vectors before others do, in a way that allows us to proactively raise the security bar.
In this role, you will use and develop experimental methods and tools to uncover security vulnerabilities at the device, hardware, firmware and system software levels. You will prove the exploitation of highly-complex vulnerabilities, assess the likelihood of a compromise, leverage fuzz testing, or other techniques to accelerate and expand our team’s vulnerability finding operations.Responsibilities
- Propose and lead penetration testing plans and offensive security exercises for different components of the product stack. Prove and document the exploitation of high-complexity security issues.
- Design controls and improvements to sharpen our capabilities to defend against attackers in close cooperation with the teams responsible for implementing them.
- Document and present results to a variety of target audiences, ranging from highly technical engineers over non-technical subject matter experts to executive leadership.
- Perform technical security assessments, code audits, design reviews, and Red team exercises.
- Contribute to the development of tools and automation programs, security analysis and testing automation projects.
