Senior Security Engineer, Infrastructure Security Engineering - DGX Cloud

NVIDIA DGX Cloudis 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. You will 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. You will engineer automated guardrails, controllers, and runtime security policies that validate and enforce the integrity of tenant boundaries.

• Security-as-a-Service Approach:Designing and operating security services as a scalable platform. Building "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, identifying architectural gaps in security and engineering 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 and build paved paths that seamlessly embed security into the CI/CD pipeline and the hardware lifecycle.

What We Need to See:

We are looking for high-caliber engineers with deep spikes of expertise in a few of these areas and the intellectual curiosity to dive into the rest. If your experience aligns with the core of this role-building resilient security systems-and you can show us how, we want to hear from you!

• Infrastructure Engineering:Experience (typically 8+ years) in SRE, Software Engineering, and Infrastructure Security. You focus on building systemic solutions rather than performing manual operations or "tool administration."

• Production-Grade Coding:A strong software engineering background with the ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code. You should be comfortable building and maintaining production service at scale.

• Distributed Systems Expertise:Understanding of cloud-native architecture, container orchestration (Kubernetes), and the security challenges inherent in high-throughput, low-latency environments.

• Platformizing Security:Transform complex security requirements into consumable internal services. You will 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.

• Security Product Integration: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.

• Linux Internals:Strong hands-on experience with Linux systems security, including kernel-level primitives (eBPF, AppArmor, or SELinux).

• Foundation:Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).

Ways To Stand Out from the Crowd:

• HPC/AI Security:Experience securing high-performance computing environments, RDMA-based networks, or GPU-specific security challenges.

• Cloud-Native Identity:Expertise in workload identity frameworks (e.g., SPIFFE/SPIRE) and hardware-root-of-trust (TPM/HSM) integration.

• Open Source Impact: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?

170,000 CAD - 220,000 CAD for Level 4; and 225,000 CAD - 275,000 CAD for Level 5.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
