About the jobThe Cloud IAM team builds foundational authorization and policy intelligence systems securing Google Cloud Platform for enterprise customers, workloads, and AI agents. You will build core ML models and data pipelines transforming Cloud IAM from a static access control system into an adaptive, risk-aware intelligence engine. Combining dataset engineering and model training expertise with cloud security and reliability focus, you will design scalable data pipelines, train compact risk-scoring models, and integrate explainable ML predictions with deterministic security guardrails. Your systems will evaluate access risk in real time, recommend least-privilege policies, detect risky permission combinations, and help security administrators automate access decisions safely and efficiently.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Responsibilities - Design and scale training data pipelines using access telemetry, policy graphs, and synthetic data with rigorous de-noising.
- Train and optimize ML models for Intelligent IAM, focusing on access-risk scoring, anomaly detection, and least-privilege recommendations.
- Build explainability and calibration layers to provide clear reasoning for risk scores, routing uncertain cases to human review or static rules.
- Partner with security engineers to identify IAM edge cases, ensuring models learn subtle privilege boundaries without over-granting access.
- Establish evaluation benchmarks and online monitoring to prevent model drift, and optimize models for low-latency Google Cloud serving.
