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.

In this role, you will

work on a broad set of efforts focusing on defining,
measuring, preventing, remediating, and sustaining a healthy cloud security
posture. You will also support work to improve security across our acquisitions
and other Bet companies.
You will be a part of our cloud security controls (CSC) focus area, contributing
to outcomes for key security risk reduction and developer and AI enablement on
Cloud programs. You will support the definition of new security controls and
uplift pathways in partnership with technical leads, helping ensure consistent
and effective control enforcement across Alphabet’s multi-cloud footprint
through close collaboration with cross-functional infrastructure and security
partners.
