Software Engineer III, Android Platform Security
We are seeking a Software Engineer III, Android Platform Security to help design, develop, and maintain security-critical capabilities across the Android platform. In this role, you will contribute to frameworks, system services, platform components, and engineering tools that protect devices, applications, user data, and communications. You will work closely with engineers across software, hardware, infrastructure, and product teams to identify risks, define secure designs, and deliver reliable solutions at scale.
Your responsibilities will include developing high-quality Android platform code; reviewing architecture and implementation changes for security, privacy, reliability, and performance; investigating vulnerabilities and security incidents; and implementing effective mitigations. You will help establish secure development practices, improve automated testing and validation, and contribute to threat modelling, security reviews, and technical documentation. You may also support platform hardening, access-control mechanisms, authentication, encryption, secure boot, sandboxing, and protection of sensitive data. The role involves mentoring less experienced engineers, participating in technical planning, and communicating complex security topics clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
The successful candidate will have a degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience, together with substantial professional experience developing systems software. Strong proficiency in C++, Java, Kotlin, or comparable languages is required, along with a solid understanding of operating systems, Android internals, concurrency, networking, and software security principles. Experience with vulnerability analysis, secure coding, cryptography, access control, or mobile platform security is highly desirable. You should be comfortable debugging complex problems, reviewing code, balancing security with usability and performance, and working collaboratively in a fast-paced environment. A proactive mindset, sound engineering judgement, attention to detail, and a commitment to protecting users and their data are essential.
