The Windows Enterprise and Security (ENS) team is building a new product and engineering presence in Microsoft's India Development Center (IDC) to deliver the foundational Windows capabilities that enterprises depend on every day.
TPM(Trusted Platform Module) is how millions of Windows users securely store biometric data (like fingerprints or facial recognition) and PINs, providing a secure and convenient way to sign into Windows without having to use a password. TPM technology helps organizations establish a tamper resistant, hardware root of trust that’s at the hear of computing confidential data as well as establishing consistent security access and control.
As the Principal Product Manager for TPM/Attestation, you will drive product strategy and execution for the Windows TPM stack in partnership with internal and external partners such as hardware, OEM vendors, Microsoft cloud services like Intune, Azure Attestation and Azure Entra. You will engage directly with enterprise IT admins and IT leadership, and translate customer needs into roadmap and feature decisions spanning the Windows client, services, and cloud control plane.
This is an individual-contributor role based in Bangalore alongside the broader ENS IDC team.
Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
