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.
The Disruption Team within the Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) is focused on enabling significant degradation of threat actors’ missions, operations and capabilities. Our team focuses on the most significant threat actors targeting our users, customers, and the broader online ecosystem. We do so through the identification and refinement of disruption opportunities which bring together a broad toolbox of both technical and nontechnical capabilities. We focus on both nation-state and criminal actors for disruption, prioritizing based on the level of expected impact to the actor and our users. To accomplish our mission we partner deeply with a wide array of stakeholders. This includes mission teams within GTIG Threat Operations responsible for tracking and analyzing attacker groups, broader GTIG teams such as Intel Delivery, and a broad array of product and abuse teams across Alphabet.
Responsibilities
- Engage across Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) and Alphabet to identify, vet and refine disruption opportunities, working closely with GTIG mission tech leads, threat ops, intel delivery, and product areas.
- Analyze data to build a comprehensive picture of threat actor infrastructure, malware, tactics, organizational structure, and other relevant factors in support of disruption planning.
- Support disruption operations by preparing intelligence for partners, drafting abuse notifications to service providers, and tracking operational milestones.
- Contribute to the development and testing of detections, such as Yara rules and network signatures, to identify malicious activity and infrastructure at scale.
