Security Engineer II, Enterprise Detection Engineering

Job description

info_outline 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. As a Security Engineer in Enterprise Detection, you will help secure Google's enterprise systems and users from human and agentic cyber threats.

This includes corporate endpoints (macOS, Linux, ChromeOS), off-Google and 2P/3P entities (e.g., Aqs/Bets), and infrastructure powering internal AI services/agents. You will build affluencies in Google's detection engineering practices aimed at using AI and traditional strategies to scale/mature high-fidelity detections to identify external threat actors and insider threats before they cause harm. Working with guidance from senior teammates, you will solve well-defined problems—typically focused on individual components or tactical subtasks within larger projects—while collaborating effectively with incident response, enterprise security (IIP), and engineering partners.

You are expected to reliably execute well defined/delegated project tasks, drive iterative improvements to existing detections and workflows (e.g., integrate automation, adapt to agentic components), and build strong foundational and intermediate expertise in agentic detection engineering, automation, and threat modeling. Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
