About this role
About the job:
In this role, your mission is to identify the highest-severity and emerging, on-platform T&S abuse and conduct technical investigative analysis to drive cross-Product Area (xPA) detection, mitigation and remediation measures.
As a part of the team of technical investigators, you will work to proactively hunt out the biggest and baddest threat actors in the Trust and Safety space, deeply understand how they achieve their objectives on Googles family of products and services. You will then work with partner teams to stop the threat actors from being effective by deploying both network-scoped disruptions and scaled detection and enforcement mitigations.
As a Staff Engineering Analyst Investigator, you will serve as a technical lead and domain authority for the team, setting multi-quarter technical direction to uncover systemic threat actor ecosystems and architecting scalable, AI-first investigative and enforcement solutions across Google. You will look beyond individual cases to identify systemic, multi-product area adversarial ecosystems, leading open-ended investigations and multi-quarter disruption programs from initial discovery through executive alignment and cross-Product Area (xPA) operationalization. You will bridge experimental threat research and production-scale defense by designing modular, maintainable automation, data pipelines, and agentic AI architectures in partnership with Software Engineering (SWE) and Data Engineering teams. You will act as a technical multiplier who elevates team-wide investigative tradecraft, codifying methodologies into self-service playbooks, reviewing peers' code and technical designs, and mentoring analysts.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
