Full Job Posting

Responsibilities

  • Define the multi-quarter roadmap for operating system security, privacy, and firmware, translating ambiguous requirements into structured programs with clear milestones, risk ratings, and exit criteria.
  • Manage programs for the platform's boot and update stack including verified boot, over-the-air updates, and recovery while aligning release milestones and firmware readiness with external silicon vendors.
  • Direct security and privacy launch approval processes for platform releases and new hardware form factors by coordinating privacy design reviews, audits, and legal alignment to ensure secure, on-time delivery.
  • Guide vulnerability management and incident response initiatives from the OS level down to vendor firmware, tracking findings against severity-based SLOs and upstreaming patches to reduce measurable risk.
  • Cultivate strategic cross-organizational partnerships to deliver platform capabilities like hardware-backed key management, while building scalable tooling (including AI-assisted workflows) and streamlining review processes to improve organizational efficiency.

Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5 years of experience in program management.
  • Experience in security engineering standards and practices, or managing security or privacy programs.
  • Experience working with operating systems, firmware, or embedded software development teams.

Preferred qualifications:

  • 5 years of experience managing cross-functional or cross-team projects.
  • Experience with platform security technologies such as secure/verified boot, bootloaders, trusted execution environments (TEEs), hardware-backed key management, SELinux, or fuzzing.
  • Experience managing technical programs for bootloaders or system firmware (e.g., U-Boot, UEFI, Android bootloaders), including flashing, A/B and over-the-air (OTA) updates, recovery, and production signing-key processes.
  • Knowledge of privacy and security regulatory frameworks (e.g., GDPR, DMA, health data policies) and Android compatibility requirements (CDD/CTS/VTS).
