About the job:
Our Security team works to create and maintain the safest operating environment for Google's users and developers. Security Engineers work with network equipment and actively monitor our systems for attacks and intrusions. In this role, you will also work with software engineers to proactively identify and fix security flaws and vulnerabilities.

Google's Secure AI Framework (SAIF) team is at the forefront of AI Agent Security. You'll pioneer defenses for systems like Gemini and Workspace AI, addressing novel threats unique to autonomous agents and Large Language Models (LLMs), such as advanced prompt injection and adversarial manipulation.

In this role, your responsibilities include researching vulnerabilities, designing innovative security architectures, prototyping mitigations, and collaborating to implement solutions. This role requires security research/engineering skills, an attacker mindset, and systems security proficiency. You will help define secure development practices for AI agents within Google and influence the broader industry in this evolving field.

Responsibilities:
  • Conduct research to identify, analyze, and understand novel security threats, vulnerabilities, and attack vectors targeting AI agents and underlying LLMs (e.g., advanced prompt injection, data exfiltration, adversarial manipulation, attacks on reasoning/planning).
  • Design, prototype, evaluate, and refine innovative defense mechanisms and mitigation strategies against identified threats, spanning model-based defenses, runtime controls, and detection techniques.
  • Develop proof-of-concept exploits and testing methodologies to validate vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of proposed defenses and stay current within AI security, adversarial ML, and related security fields through literature review, conference attendance, and community engagement.
  • Collaborate with engineering and research teams to translate research findings into practical, security solutions deployable across Google's agent ecosystem.
  • Document research findings, contribute to internal knowledge sharing, security guidelines, and potentially external publications or presentations.
