Google - security TPM technicals?
I’ve been invited for an on-site for a Security TPM position. I have about a week to prepare and I’m worried I’m not technical enough for Google. (I am a CISSP though do not totally virgin.) What I’m worried about is the two technicals. I was told I will not be writing code. Specifically “these are higher level questions around the understanding of possible vulnerabilities or architectural design from a security standpoint” So my study plan so far is to A) try to learn some system design basics (not an engineer by background) B) review my CISSP study materials Does anyone have any suggestions for either a different route to approach or other resources to check out? Anyone have experience with security TPM technicals? What sort of questions to expect? I haven’t been able to find much online for security specific tpm questions.
Op- How did your interview go?
How did it go? I'm about to have a phone interview for the same position, any tips would be appreciated!
Might be a bit late here, but I did not find the interview very technical. A lot of focus on concepts, behavioral examples, and project management processes. I did not have to write any code, and the system design was more applied to security than designing an application.
Interview was not as technical as I had imagined, as well.

Be prepared to walk through your entire process. There’s no leading questions, just scenarios where you divulge what you know and would do. I hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply!! How technical can they go for a TPM role? Is the expectation that Security TPMs should be able to create Threat Models etc?
Don’t worry about getting an offer. You’ll be working at Taco Bell soon
Be prepared to explain, in depth, a recent major security vulnerability and it's remediation
