What you'll do:
As a Staff Cloud Security Engineer, you are the most senior individual contributor responsible for the security of our cloud platform. You will set the technical direction for how we secure workloads across Google Cloud Platform (GCP), design our edge and perimeter defenses using Cloudflare and Google Cloud Armor, and build the guardrails that enable engineering teams to move quickly without compromising security.
This is a hands-on, high-impact individual contributor role. You will not manage people but will establish engineering standards across the organization, influence company-wide architecture decisions, and serve as the senior technical authority during security reviews and incidents.
