Senior Security Engineer, Infrastructure Security Engineering – DGX Cloud
Join NVIDIA as a Senior Security Engineer within our Infrastructure Security Engineering organization. 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 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.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and integrate production‑grade security services. Focus on engineering security products—transforming third‑party and open‑source tools into seamless, API‑driven components of the DGX Cloud security stack.
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.
Architect and implement the security control plane. Engineer automated guardrails, controllers, and runtime security policies that validate and enforce the integrity of tenant boundaries.
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.
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.
Conduct deep‑dive threat models on complex distributed systems and the DGX Cloud stack, identifying architectural gaps in security and engineering the solutions to close them.
Partner with DGX Cloud platform teams, broader NVIDIA security teams, and product engineering to understand their needs and embed security into the CI/CD pipeline and the hardware lifecycle.
Qualifications
Bachelors degree or equivalent experience with 5+ years in SRE, Software Engineering, and Infrastructure Security. Focus on building systemic solutions rather than performing manual operations or "tool administration."
Strong software engineering background with the ability to write clean, maintainable, and well‑tested code. Comfortable building and maintaining production service at scale.
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. Focus on the "Developer Experience" of security, ensuring that our infrastructure security controls are delivered as robust, API‑first platforms that integrate seamlessly with NVIDIA’s internal engineering workflows.
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).
Ways to Stand Out
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. How have you represented and helped advance the industry?
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 148,000 USD – 235,750 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD – 287,500 USD for Level 4. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until December 26, 2025.
