Google Cloud Security Engineer

Responsibilities

• Supporting secure Google Cloud architecture patterns across identity, network, logging/monitoring, and data protection domains (IAM, policies, encryption, boundary controls).
• Partnering with the Google Cloud team to implement guardrails and engineering improvements aligned to best practices and compliance needs.
• Aiding in SecOps SIEM operations including onboarding log sources, supporting detections, and helping improve investigation workflows.
• Producing clear documentation, diagrams, and runbooks that make controls repeatable and auditable.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Experience: 0–3 years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, cloud engineering, security operations, or related technical internships/rotations.
• Exposure to at least one cloud platform (Google Cloud preferred) with understanding of core security concepts (IAM, networking, logging/monitoring, encryption).
• Basic familiarity with SIEM concepts (log sources, parsing/normalization, alerting, investigation workflows).

Key Skills & Knowledge

• Foundational understanding of cloud identity and access controls (roles/permissions, service accounts, least privilege concepts).
• Working knowledge of cloud logging/monitoring and why audit logs matter for security operations.
• Familiarity with network security basics (segmentation, boundary protection concepts, secure communications).
• Comfortable writing clear documentation and collaborating cross-functionally with engineering and operations teams.
• Scripting/automation mindset (Python or similar) is a plus.
