It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology-and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in an inclusive, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.\nJoin NVIDIA's DOCA Security team and become a pivotal player in transforming the AI landscape! As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be at the forefront of developing NVIDIA Sentry, a groundbreaking security software framework. Our work encompasses DOCA Argus for host-memory introspection without agents and DOCA Tower, Sentry’s AI security gateway. This role provides a chance to define, implement, and test security features that protect AI agents at runtime, ensuring a flawless and secure computing environment.\nWhat you'll be doing:\nBuild and develop innovative runtime-security services on the BlueField DPU using C/C++ and Rust.\nDevelop agentless host-memory introspection tools to uncover Linux process and container activity, allowing runtime threat detection.\nDevelop gateway capabilities to inspect AI-agent requests and enforce access policies for models, tools, and data.\nConnect workload context with network controls to support AI-agent containment outside the host.\nMaintain host introspection accuracy across various Linux kernel versions, distributions, and host architectures, treating the observed host state as untrusted input.\nTest and optimize runtime monitoring and traffic enforcement for performance and reliability under load.\nCollaborate with security researchers and architects to transform threat models into effective runtime detections and enforcement features.\nWork closely with the DOCA SDK, drivers, Linux kernel, firmware, and hardware teams to deliver coordinated security features.\nWhat we need to see:\nB.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience in a related field.\n8+ years of systems software development experience in C/C++ on Linux, with a willingness to work in Rust.\nStrong understanding of Linux internals, including memory management, processes, and the networking stack.\nSolid networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, HTTP, and TLS.\nHands-on experience with Linux containers and Kubernetes.\nProven experience in debugging, profiling, and building automated tests for Linux software.\nStrong analytical and communication skills, capable of explaining technical decisions across teams.\nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nBackground in runtime security, memory forensics, or virtual-machine introspection.\nExperience with proxies, policy engines, or workload identity systems.\nKnowledge of IPsec/IKEv2 with strongSwan or a similar IKE daemon.\nFamiliarity with NVIDIA OpenShell or similar sandbox runtimes for AI agents.\nContributions to upstream open-source projects through code, reviews, testing, or maintenance.\nNVIDIA is well known as one of the technology industry's most attractive places to work. We have some of the most creative and committed professionals globally on our team. If you have a passion for developing systems that secure AI workloads, we want to hear from you. Join us and make a lasting impact on the world! Widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3778,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","Servers & Data Center Hardware","Computer Components","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-06T05:45:11Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":40,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nvidia-senior-software-engineer-doca","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nvidia-senior-software-engineer-doca.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T17:13:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24963,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnvidia-senior-software-engineer-doca"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnvidia-senior-software-engineer-doca"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnvidia-senior-software-engineer-doca"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nvidia-senior-software-engineer-doca\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnvidia-senior-software-engineer-doca"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3854858}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"nvidia.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3854858},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
