About the job
Security is at the core of Google's design and development process: it is built into the DNA of our products. The same is true of our offices. You're an expert who shares our seriousness about security and our commitment to confidentiality. You'll collaborate with our Facilities Management team to create innovative security strategies, investigate breaches and create risk assessment plans for the future. You believe that providing effective security doesn't come at the expense of customer service - you will be our bodyguard (and our long lost pal).
The Abuse and AI Vulnerability Rewards Program (VRP) is a "bug bounty" program which covers abusive use of Google's systems, including of our new Generative AI (GenAI) systems such as Gemini. The VRP team is responsible for assessing reports from external security researchers, interacting directly with researchers and product teams, deciding on rewards for reporters, and managing the resolution and coordinated disclosure of vulnerabilities.
Responsibilities
- Assess the validity and severity of externally-reported security and abuse issues, including issues impacting GenAI products.
- Reproduce externally-reported security and abuse issues, capturing information required by the product teams to understand and resolve.
- Serve as a point of technical escalation for first-line triage team.
- Manage communication between researchers and product teams.
- Assess reported bugs critically to determine impact, and what, if any, reward should be issued to the researcher under VRP rules. Participate in the larger VRP community and engage in cross-team projects to improve the bug bounty experience for all reporters.
