Our Security team works to create and maintain the safest operating environment for Google's users and developers.

In this role, you will also work with software engineers to proactively identify and fix security flaws and vulnerabilities.

YouTube owns one of the most popular mobile apps in the world, with billions of users, and has an equally large amount of responsibility to our users. One of those responsibilities is making sure to keep our users safe, and so we have decided to form a new Security team for YouTube native apps, tasked with making sure we have the highest levels of security built into our apps.

In this role, you will work closely with Google Independent Security Evaluators (ISEs), in the federated security team model. You will work on mobile security and advise on potential and active security issues. The scope are all 14 Android and iOS apps including YouTube Main, Creator Studio, Kids, YouTube TV, Producer, and our Embed SDK.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
