SRE at Google is a position of high trust and engineering seniority. There will always be a need for a certain (very few) people to have access to sensitive user data -- that's why this breach is so embarrassing for Google. The most we can hope for, at this class of employee, is better auditing of their access logs. The engineering exec quoted in the article promises they will perform more detailed audits.

Is it indicative of the downside of Silicon Valley's youth culture that you can wind up in a position of "high trust and engineering seniority" at the age of 27? You don't see many 27-year-olds in other ultra-high-trust professions, do you? Besides, this guy just looks creepy.
