[Hiring] Senior Security Engineer @NVIDIA

Role Description

NVIDIA DGX Cloud is the AI supercomputing-as-a-service substrate designed to power the next generation of AI and industrial-scale breakthroughs. As a Security Engineer within our Infrastructure Security Engineering organization, you will not just help "secure" our platform—you will architect and build the foundational security primitives that protect massive-scale GPU clusters. You will design automated, resilient security systems that help ensure the integrity of our omni-cloud and on-premise AI infrastructure.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Security Engineering:
  • Design, build, and integrate production-grade security services.
  • Focus on the engineering of security products—transforming third-party and open-source tools into seamless, API-driven components of the DGX Cloud security stack.
• Automated Policy Enforcement:
  • Shift security "left" by developing Infrastructure as Code and Policy as Code to automate security enforcement and compliance at the speed of cloud-scale deployment.
• Orchestration Security & Guardrails:
  • Architect and implement the security control plane.
  • Engineer automated guardrails, controllers, and runtime security policies that validate and enforce the integrity of tenant boundaries.
• Security-as-a-Service Approach:
  • Design and operate security services as a scalable platform.
  • Build "self-service" security primitives (e.g., Identity-as-a-Service, automated secrets management, and real-time scanning APIs) that allow developer teams to move fast.
• Security Tooling & Lifecycle:
  • Develop internal security frameworks and automated response systems.
  • Responsible for the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) of the security tools, including testing, deployment, and maintenance.
• Threat Modeling & System Design:
  • Conduct deep-dive threat models on complex distributed systems and the DGX Cloud stack.
  • Identify architectural gaps in security and engineer the solutions to close them.
• Multi-Functional Collaboration:
  • Partner with DGX Cloud platform teams, broader NVIDIA security teams, and product engineering to understand their needs.
  • Build paved paths that seamlessly embed security into the CI/CD pipeline and the hardware lifecycle.

Qualifications

• Experience (typically 8+ years) in SRE, Software Engineering, and Infrastructure Security.
• Strong software engineering background with the ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
• Understanding of cloud-native architecture, container orchestration (Kubernetes), and the security challenges inherent in high-throughput, low-latency environments.
• Transform complex security requirements into consumable internal services.
• Proven track record of taking complex security products (AuthN/AuthZ, Vaulting, Scanning, IDS) and integrating them into an automated infrastructure via APIs and custom glue-code.
• Strong hands-on experience with Linux systems security, including kernel-level primitives (eBPF, AppArmor, or SELinux).
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).

Requirements

• Experience securing high-performance computing environments, RDMA-based networks, or GPU-specific security challenges.
• Expertise in workload identity frameworks (e.g., SPIFFE/SPIRE) and hardware-root-of-trust (TPM/HSM) integration.
• Notable contributions to security-focused open-source projects or a track record of engineering-focused security research.

Benefits

• Base salary range is 170,000 CAD - 220,000 CAD for Level 4, and 225,000 CAD - 275,000 CAD for Level 5.
• Eligible for equity and benefits.
