level modifications • U.S. citizenship required Preferred Qualifications • Experience with FIPS 140-2/3 cryptographic module integration • Familiarity with U.S. government and regulated environment security frameworks (NIST 800
53 or equivalent) • Experience managing device fleets at scale in operational environments • Experience with Android Enterprise device owner and fully managed device APIs • Contributions to AOSP or open-source Android platform projects • Experience designing update and delivery systems for intermittent or degraded connectivity • HSM-backed signing infrastructure experience
