Responsibilities

• Develop the rules of engagement for autonomous agents on Android, ensuring that multi-step plans are audited for safety before execution.
• Implement strict "least-privilege" models so agents cannot escalate system permissions or access sensitive user data without explicit, context-aware consent.
• Partner with the Product team to build runtime monitoring that identifies "agentic drift," recursive loops, or adversarial attempts to hijack agent reasoning.
• Create self-testing kits for the Android developer community to ensure that third-party agents are built with brakes and kill-switches.

Qualifications

• Minimum qualifications: Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience, 7 years of experience in data analytics, Trust and Safety, policy, cybersecurity, or related fields.
• Preferred qualifications: Master's degree or PhD in a relevant field, experience in agentic architecture and data permissions, experience in technical product design and AI systems, experience in program management, understanding of AI/ML system safety and integrity.
