About the job

As the Principal Engineer for the Singapore AI Center of Excellence, you will serve as the senior-most on-site technical leader and Individual Contributor (IC) guiding technical efforts across Singapore and the broader Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. In this high-impact, strategic role, you will define and execute the technical vision and roadmap for production-ready AI applications, focusing on applying deep AI and agentic capabilities to real-world product safety and security challenges rather than strictly research-oriented work.

This role requires a rare full-stack ability to operate as both a high-level strategic architect and a deep technical expert. You will lead the transition to Autonomous Defense, securing the Android ecosystem and Play Store by innovating on safety defenses for malware and content abuse to establish trust for our users and developers. Additionally, as the world moves toward an increasingly agentic environment, you will define what "agentic safety" means at Google, architecting frameworks to secure AI agents as they interact with connected apps and servers.

You will provide technical direction, oversight, and guidance to engineering staff. Regionally, you will serve as the technical lead for the APAC region, providing technical oversight and guidance to teams in India and collaborating closely with engineering and product leadership with other teams across the US and UK.
