Coding Language Required: 5+ years of experience in systems security, specifically finding and mitigating vulnerabilities at the intersection of hardware and software (e.g., Kernel, Hypervisor, Firmware).
Main responsibilities
* Deep understanding of speculative execution and microarchitectural security.
* Hands‑on research experience (PhD‑level research counts as relevant experience).
* Experience discovering new microarchitectural attacks.
* Acknowledgement from CPU vendors for responsibly disclosing hardware vulnerabilities.
* Publications in reputable security venues.
* Lead uArch vulnerability responses as part of a rotation and with the support of a cross‑functional team.
* Drive key responses to microarchitectural vulnerabilities by assessing their impact at Google’s scale and coordinating remediation with internal teams and external vendors.
* Research and develop long‑term systematic mitigation, such as robust isolation primitives, to ensure that hardware vulnerabilities never pose a significant risk to the world again.
* Partner with internal product teams to design applications that are architecturally resilient to modern hardware threats from day one.
* Collaborate deeply with hardware vendors and research institutions to share knowledge, triage impacts, and inform the design of a secure future.
