About the job

A problem isn't truly solved until it's solved for all. That's why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you will use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish. You will work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You are equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us - and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

In this role, you will collaborate with the platform engineering and offensive security teams to drive the delivery of new security capabilities and mitigate platform issues. You will work across various Android organizations and engage with external partners to collectively advance Android's security position.

Android is Google's open-source mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world. We believe computing is a super power for good, enabling access to information, economic opportunity, productivity, connectivity between friends and family and more. We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world.

Responsibilities

• Lead engineering programs that deliver new security and privacy capabilities within the Android platform.
• Coordinate with internal teams including feature engineers, product management, release management, and external parties including Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), System on a Chip (SoC), vendors.
• Partner with engineering teams to deliver scalable static or dynamic analysis solutions that ensure the Android ecosystem is protected against known issues and supply chain risks.
• Manage relationships with key internal and external partners, advocating for our security programs and help institutionalize new security practices.
• Implement data driven approach, making use of appropriate metrics and dashboards, to monitor and drive program success.
