About the job
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.
As an Information Security Engineer in Android Security, you’ll be protecting users by investigating and solving problems in vulnerability analysis. You will perform low-level security assessments against hardware, firmware, as well as the Android Operating System (kernel), working to identify vulnerabilities and provide remediation guidance to impacted application developers.
You’ll also work with Android security teams, particularly those teams that work on the Google devices portfolio, to find creative ways to reduce the occurrence of Android vulnerabilities at scale. You’ll face a wide variety of code quality issues, and work towards detecting flaws both obvious and discrete.

Android has become the world’s most popular mobile ecosystem, powering billions of devices, from smartphones to tablets, watches to TVs and everything in between.
