As a part of the Engineering Analyst Manager for Cloud AI Security and Abuse, you will lead a high-performing team protecting Google Cloud’s cutting-edge AI products and developer platforms (including Vertex AI, Gemini Enterprise, AI Studio, and Cloud APIs) against sophisticated adversarial actors and emerging frontier risks. You will sit at the intersection of data science, security engineering, and threat intelligence, your team uncovers complex abuse patterns across billions of events, architects automated detection and enforcement pipelines, and builds next-generation guardrails for generative and agentic AI systems.
You will combine people leadership with deep technical and analytical acumen, mentoring Engineering Analysts, guiding the development of AI-driven defenses, and partnering closely with leaders across Cloud, DeepMind, Security, Product, and Policy. Your leadership will ensure that Google’s enterprise and developer AI deployments remain resilient against exploitation while balancing rigorous protection with a friction-less customer experience.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
