I'm #hiring :)
We're building the first ever Android Security Operations team (ASO or Android SecOps for short) based in Bangalore, India.
I'm hiring one manager that will report to me (a security-focused SWE), who in turn will manage the rest of the team, who I'm also hiring for (two more security-focused SWEs and a TPM).
This is an amazing opportunity to be part of building a team from the ground up in a growing location, working hand in hand with our U.S. and EMEA Android Security teams.
The ASO team will be responsible for ensuring the smooth day to day operations of critical programs across the Android vulnerability pipeline, including our Android Vulnerability Reward Program, Vulnerability Management Program, Security Design Reviews Program, Security Release / Android Security Bulletin Program, and more!
If you want real world experience with Android Security, and to be part of the team that squishes security bugs to protect 3B+ users across the planet, now's your time to shine :)
If you're interested, feel free to DM me for more info, send people my way you think might be interested, re-post this post, and of course -- apply!

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for all the interest! My inbox is blowing up, so adding some FAQs here that'll hopefully help with common questions :)
Where? The positions are all in Bangalore, hybrid (in-office Tues/Wed/Thurs, WFH Mon and Fri).
Who would I work with? The manager of the team (first job post linked) reports to me, and you'd work with the rest of my team (technical program managers and security engineers mostly based in the U.S.), as well as the broader Android Security team.
What would I work on? Practically speaking, the SWE roles entail things like reviewing incoming vulnerability reports to the Android VRP to analyze them and determine their severity based on the "Android Severity Guidelines" (you can Google that one ;P). You'd also perform security design reviews (consult on how to design new features, well, securely :)), consult with feature teams to advise them in the security space, analyze common threads of vulns / root cause analysis to identify potential platform level mitigations, and more. The TPM role is on the hook for ensuring everything runs smoothly across the Android vulnerability pipeline, and gets to be hands on with all of our programs, including ensuring vulns are found and fixed, and patches are efficiently shipped to the Android ecosystem.

What skills do I need? Consider what was mentioned above, and check the job postings, but experience with Android, Java, C, C++ is helpful.
