Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require leaders to keep the big picture in focus while being able to navigate into unique engineering, system reliability, and cyber security challenges.
As a Regional Internet of Things (IoT) Operations and Cyber Security specialist at Google, you will bridge the gap between global strategy and the technical execution required to operate stable, reliable, and secure building systems and specialized IoT hardware.
This is a dual-mandate role where your expertise will balance operational technology (OT) operations with cyber security risk management. You will serve as the strategic operations and cyber security authority for your region, driving the daily performance and life cycle management of regional IoT systems while defending them against cyber threats. You are equally at home commanding the response to a system outage as you are leading a cyber security incident response, applying your expertise to manage external vendor Service Level Agreements (SLAs) or explaining technical risk trade-offs to executives.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Define regional architecture and vendor approach (including SLAs). Ensure the availability, reliability, and life cycle management via maintenance.
- Operationalize global IoT strategies including fostering a data-driven security culture through training and tracking key performance metrics (uptime and patch compliance). Act as the regional authority for cyber risk acceptance and compliance, ensuring all IoT systems remain compliant.
- Own regional vulnerability and patch management programs. Drive corrective actions for IoT security incidents, mitigating risk within defined Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for critical systems (building management, health, food).
- Lead regional procurement, ensuring new IoT devices adhere to Security-by-Design policies and pass functionality reviews.
- Develop "Smart Building" ecosystems. Utilize IoT infrastructure, Predictive Maintenance, and data analytics to maximize asset life cycles and advance Sustainability goals.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Building Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Controls, IT, or equivalent practical experience.
- 8 years of experience defining and leading cross country programs in system operations, lifecycle management, and cyber security for an operational technology (OT) or IoT portfolio.
- Experience in procurement and vendor management, including negotiating Service Level Agreements (SLAs)/Service Level Objectives (SLOs).
- Experience in incident response and vulnerability management.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Industry certification in cybersecurity or IoT/smart building technologies.
- Ability to balance OT and smart building engineering (HVAC, lighting, Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD), Waste management, kitchen systems, fitness machines) with applied cyber security principles (network segmentation, encryption, access and identity).
- Ability to serve as the final approval point for escalated technical, operational or cyber security issues along with excellent problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to represent the organization internally and externally.
COMPENSATION
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $158,000-$228,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Cybersecurity Jobs at Google Jobs
Align Your Credentials to Google's Security Frameworks
Google's cybersecurity teams frequently reference frameworks like NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, and BeyondCorp in job listings. Certifications like OSCP, CISSP, or GREM signal the hands-on depth Google's hiring panels look for in sponsored candidates.
Browse Sponsored Cybersecurity Openings on Migrate Mate
Finding roles where Google is actively sponsoring your specific visa type is the hardest part. Use Migrate Mate to filter Google's open cybersecurity positions by visa category so you're only applying where sponsorship is confirmed.
Prepare for Google's Security-Specific Interview Loop
Google's cybersecurity interviews typically include threat modeling scenarios, incident response walkthroughs, and system design questions with a security lens. Preparing for these formats before your recruiter screen improves your odds of reaching the offer stage where visa conversations happen.
Confirm Your Employer's LCA Filing Before Accepting an Offer
Before signing anything, confirm that Google's immigration team has submitted your Labor Condition Application to the DOL. The LCA must be certified before USCIS can receive your I-129 petition, and delays here push back your start date.
Use the 60-Day Grace Period Strategically If You're Between Roles
If your previous H-1B or E-3 employment has ended, USCIS allows a 60-day grace period to secure a new sponsoring employer. Google's immigration process moves faster for candidates who have all credentialing documents ready when the recruiter initiates the petition.

Find Cybersecurity at Google JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Google sponsor H-1B visas for Cybersecurity roles?
Yes, Google sponsors H-1B visas for cybersecurity positions across teams including threat intelligence, security engineering, and red team operations. Sponsorship is handled through Google's internal immigration team in coordination with outside counsel. Because H-1B sponsorship is tied to specific roles and business units, the job listing itself will typically indicate whether a position is open to sponsorship.
How do I apply for Cybersecurity jobs at Google?
Applications go through Google's careers portal at careers.google.com. Search by role family, such as Information Security Engineer or Security Analyst, and filter by location. Tailoring your resume to reflect the specific frameworks and threat categories listed in the job description improves your chances of clearing Google's initial screening. Migrate Mate also surfaces Google's open cybersecurity roles filtered by visa type if you want to narrow your search.
Which visa types does Google commonly use for Cybersecurity hires?
Google most commonly uses the H-1B for cybersecurity hires, but also files H-1B1 petitions for Chilean and Singaporean nationals and E-3 petitions for Australian citizens. All three require the role to qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards, which cybersecurity engineering and security architecture roles generally satisfy given their degree requirements.
What qualifications does Google expect for sponsored Cybersecurity roles?
Most cybersecurity roles at Google require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, information security, or a related technical field. Hands-on experience with areas like penetration testing, cloud security, or security operations is weighted heavily. Advanced degrees, relevant certifications such as CISSP or OSCP, and prior experience at large-scale infrastructure organizations strengthen both your candidacy and the specialty occupation basis for your visa petition.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take after a Google offer?
For H-1B transfers from an existing H-1B, portability under AC21 allows you to start within 60 days of filing. For new H-1B petitions subject to the lottery, the timeline runs from registration in March to an October 1 start date at the earliest. E-3 and H-1B1 petitions avoid the lottery entirely and can move faster once the DOL certifies the Labor Condition Application, often within weeks of offer acceptance.
