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 are a recognized expert in at least two security domains and use your leadership skills to manage a team that sets the direction and goals for solving Google-wide problems. You identify fundamental security problems at Google and drive major security improvements in Google infrastructure.

The Android Anti-Malware team turns big Android malware problems into small Android malware problems. We do this by analyzing upcoming, persistent, or severe malware families and malware categories, and by developing detection and mitigation strategies to reduce the harm they can cause to Android users.

In this role, you will be leading a team of security engineers on the Android Anti-Malware Team. You will be protecting users by investigating and solving malware problems. You will also work with Android security teams, particularly those teams that work on app scanning and Google Play operations, to find new and creative ways to analyze and detect malware at scale.

You will help shape the future of Android's platform security and ecosystem. Android is Google's mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world.

We believe computing is a super power for good, enabling access to information, economic opportunity, productivity, connectivity between friends and family and more. We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc.) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world.

Responsibilities

• Manage a team of security engineers (e.g., malware analysts) in Bengaluru.

• Advocate security and secure practices throughout the Google Play and Android ecosystem.
