The Senior Technical Program Manager will serve as the primary driver for Zoox's Information Security modernization roadmap. As a TPM, you will work cross-functionally with leaders across infosec, product security, platform/cloud engineering, machine learning software teams, and vehicle engineering to execute a massive architectural transformation. You will ensure our security initiatives align with the fast-moving nature of autonomous driving development, emphasizing agility, frictionless access, and iterative progress.
Our InfoSec team is redefining how security operates at Zoox, moving from reactive compliance to proactive engineering enablement. You will manage the programmatic delivery of our four core pillars: Cloud Data Governance, Identity & Zero Trust, Cyber Resilience, and Security Culture. From deploying advanced infosec programs to operationalizing Risk-Based Vulnerability Management and governance guardrails, you will own the critical path. We need a TPM who can seamlessly translate technical debt into business risk for executives, while simultaneously defining clear security program roadmaps.
