Customer Engineer Security, Google Cloud Security

As a Security Customer Engineer you'll be the main technical advisor for enterprise customers across Australia and New Zealand on detecting, investigating, and responding to threats, from cloud workloads through to the enterprise Security Operations Center (SOC). You'll focus on three technology domains: Cloud detection and response (detecting and containing threats in real time across cloud, container, and AI workloads in multi-cloud environments), SOC transformation (modernising the SOC by bringing together SIEM, SOAR, and AI-assisted investigation), and Threat intelligence (delivering frontline threat intelligence that gives customers comprehensive visibility and context on the threats that matter most to their organization).
You'll work closely with Account Executives to change how customers think about security operations. You'll help grow our cybersecurity business by building relationships with new and existing customers. You'll guide customers through the technical side of the business cycle, including discovery, architecture, demos, proofs of value, and adoption, so they get the most value from our solutions.
