About the job

In this role, you will join a team of engineering analysts dedicated to protecting Google accounts and products from compromise, scaled abuse and emerging threats. You will be at the cross-road of cyber-security and AI, designing and implementing abuse prevention mechanisms. You will play a key part in a fast-paced environment where you'll have the chance to apply your analytical and technical skills to complex problems at a global scale.

Responsibilities

• Use large-scale data analysis to discover and understand how attackers are compromising Google accounts or are creating and using them for abuse, identifying weak points in our systems. 
• Develop and deploy policies and interventions within Google's sign-up, sign-in, and reAuth flows to prevent unauthorized access and account abuse, balancing security, and user experience.
• Design and execute experiments (e.g., A/B tests) to quantitatively measure the impact of our new policies, features, and challenges on abuse reduction and user friction.
• Evolve our interventions for better detection and automation. Identify opportunities to integrate LLM capabilities and agentic tools to automate tasks.
• Partner with the broader team, Product Management and Engineering to identify, prioritize and develop strategies against the most pressing and novel threats.
