United States of America

Location:

UTNB1: Corp - Brooklyn NY 55 Water St, Brooklyn, NY, 11201 USA

United Technologies Corporation (UTC; NYSC: UTX) is headquartered in Farmington, CT, just outside of Hartford, CT. We employ over 204,000 talented individuals globally, achieve net sales in excess of $60 billion, and invest $4B each year back into research & development activities. Our aerospace businesses include Pratt & Whitney aircraft engines and UTC Aerospace Systems - the combination of which make us the largest aerospace company in the world. Our commercial businesses include Otis elevators and escalators and UTC Climate, Controls & Security - a leading provider of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, fire and security systems and building automation controls.

United Technologies Corporation was founded by some of the world's greatest inventors. We helped build the Second Industrial Revolution and brought about a century of urbanization and globalization. Now we need your help to build the next one.

Tech@UTC is the UTC technology organization, comprised of the global engineering function, several focused centers of expertise, our skunkworks organization - United Technologies Advanced Projects (UTAP), and our advanced Research & Development lab - United Technologies Research Center (UTRC). By combining a passion for science with precision engineering, we create smart, sustainable solutions that prove we can do the big things the right way. We put the "T" in UTC.

As great physical products like jet engines, elevators, avionics, HVAC, door locks, and smoke detectors get "smarter," becoming increasingly connected, security becomes increasingly important. The mission of the newly created Product Security Center of Expertise (PSCOE) is to ensure the digital security of these products by (1) ensuring that security is built into the products before they ship, (2) operationally understanding risk to our products on a day-to-day basis, and (3) ensuring that we have a strong Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) to respond effectively and quickly to any product security issues.

As Product Security "Core Infrastructure" Lead, you'll lead development, acquisition, and integration of next generation product security capabilities needed by all product teams across the many businesses of UTC. This includes:

* Hiring and leading a team of software engineers and project management staff
* Engineering of next generation systems for automated tracking of chipsets and software libraries comprising the software and digital hardware "Bills of Material" (BOM) for hundreds of market leading products
* "Build system" integration of security testing tools for continuous security testing of hundreds of products in development
* Working closely with world leading partners in both application of machine learning to automation of non-destructive chip-level hardware-verification through non-destructive reverse engineering, and application of emerging artificial intelligence technologies for increasingly "smarter" automated software vulnerability discovery
* Development and integration of technologies for operationally tracking risk to UTC products on a day-to-day basis, fusing information from public vulnerability feeds with both proprietary internet-wide scanning and honeypot systems.

Through shared core infrastructure, we can make it easier for countless product teams to do security right.

Key Job Responsibilities

* Lead software engineering of specific capabilities needed by many product teams across UTC, including:
* organic engineering development of several new systems
* integration with specific existing internal systems
* licensing of external tools & services needed to deliver these full capabilities


* Hire and lead a team of software engineers and product management staff

Basic qualifications:

* Strong experience in leading iterative, agile software development of new capabilities
* Experience with one or more major software development environments, including but certainly not limited to Java, Node.js, C++, Python, etc.
* Ability to quickly hire and build a great software engineering team, leading them to quickly become an effective team, even while the team is relatively small in size
* Strong people leadership and project management skills
* Strong skills in collaboration and managing relationships with other stakeholders, particularly crucial for integration with established and quickly emerging centralized build systems, and other established & emerging infrastructure



Preferred qualifications:

* Experience with web development including both agile development of data intensive new sites, and also integration with other sites through various single sign on (SSO) & secure API access models.
* Experience with cloud native architectures.
* Familiarity with horizontally scalable architectures such as Hadoop, or at least sharded datastores
* Experience or at least exposure to some number of "machine learning" libraries, frameworks, or cloud based services
* A great combination of risk-tolerance, impatience, optimism, empathy, and vision, and a burning desire to make a difference

Education & Experience

* B.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field preferred
* Demonstrated history of success in multiple positions of increasing scope and responsibility, with a significant duration of experience and expertise spanning the full qualifications of this role
