About the job
Our Security team works to create and maintain the safest operating environment for Google's users and developers.

- Manage time across multiple active investigations to analyze technical data to extrapolate adversary methodologies and identifiable characteristics.
- Utilize all available leads identified through investigations to provide a comprehensive understanding of the adversary’s tactics, techniques and procedures by combining different datasets for maximum impact.
- Work with multiple expert teams simultaneously in fast-paced operations to assess, cluster, and attribute seemingly disparate activity into related intrusions and campaigns.
