We have pushed innovation through our innovative technology and talented team. As we expand into AI's vast possibilities, we need a Senior Security Engineer, Architecture Patterns to build the future of computing. In this role, you will be involved in the latest AI developments, uphold security standards, and contribute to powerful projects alongside top talent in Santa Clara, CA. Join us!\nWhat you'll be doing:\nDevelop shift-left solutions that embed security standards directly into AI-generated code, ensuring constraints, scaffolds, rules, and guardrails are applied during the coding process rather than post-shipment.\nConvert written security standards into machine-enforceable formats, enabling programming assistants and pipelines to apply them seamlessly without manual interpretation.\nEngineer verification workflows that confirm generated code meets claimed standards, providing evidence for downstream release gating and policy enforcement.\nMaintain and evolve evaluation harnesses, reference repositories, known-bad cases, and encouraged findings to ensure constraint-steered agents produce conformant code amid changing models, patterns, and tooling.\nConvert approved architecture patterns into secure, runnable reference implementations, such as templates, Helm charts, container images, and worked examples, ensuring their reliability as platforms evolve.\nElevate AI solutions from prototypes to enterprise-grade products, focusing on versioning, observability, latency and cost budgets, access control, audit, graceful failure, and a detailed support and deprecation model.\nSet the enterprise-grade architecture standards for AI tooling in a security context, determining qualification criteria and monitoring adoption and outcomes to ensure efficiency.\nCollaborate with teams developing their own AI and automation solutions, reviewing builds, sharing platforms, raising engineering standards, and staying engaged through adoption, validation, and residual-risk closure.\nWhat we need to see:\n8+ years in security engineering, platform engineering, product security, infrastructure security, DevSecOps, developer experience engineering, or software engineering for large distributed systems.\nExpertise with AI coding agents and the tooling that builds their output, including context and constraint injection, rules and scaffolds, plan-mode and tool integrations, and development guided by detailed specifications.\nProven skill in building evaluation harnesses and regression suites for non-deterministic systems, including reference cases, result verification, conformance measurement, and regression detection.\nProficiency in cloud-native and containerized environments, including Kubernetes, Helm, container image hardening, and the composition of identity, networking, and infrastructure primitives into secure systems.\nStrong software engineering fundamentals in a language such as Python or Go, with experience in CI/CD pipelines, static analysis, code generation tooling, policy-as-code, schema validation, Git workflows, and automated publishing.\nProven track record of taking systems from prototype to production at enterprise standards, including reliability, versioning, observability, access control, documentation, and support models.\nPractical grounding in security architecture, including threat modeling, control selection, isolation boundaries, workload identity, secrets handling, logging, and audit, with the ability to render specifications machine-checkable.\nAbility to operate as both an architect and engineer, reviewing builds, explaining technical trade-offs, influencing without direct authority, and improving team capabilities.\nBS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.\nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nExperience in shipping tooling that steers or constrains code-generating agents at generation time.\nProviding attestation, provenance, or supply chain evidence for downstream use, including signing, verifiable claims, or build-time evidence.\nProductizing internally built AI tooling, taking demos to enterprise-grade solutions with evaluation, guardrails, cost controls, and operational support.\nEstablishing a golden-path, paved-road, or internal developer platform program at scale, including content models, tooling, and adoption strategies.\nEngagement in ongoing technical development or knowledge sharing to broaden risk reduction strategies, through open-source work, technical writing, standards work, conference talks, mentoring, or community participation.\nYour base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 168,000 USD - 270,250 USD.You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.\nApplications for this job will be accepted at least until October 20, 2026.This posting is for an existing vacancy.\nNVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.\nNVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
