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 a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work .Join the team and discover how you can build a lasting impact on the world.\nThe Cryptographic Services team implements and operates our hardware-rooted cryptographic asset lifecycle platform - the system of record for every key, certificate and PKI chain we hold. Our company requires a technical engineering lead to take the platform forward across technology, process and people. Can you make a high-assurance cryptographic service self-service, without giving up a single control? This is for you!\nWhat you'll be doing:\nBuild cryptographic asset registry\nBuild key and certificate inventory, lifecycle tracking, and the interfaces that make them usable.\n\nInstrument it and govern it: telemetry, audit evidence, and policy-based authorization for sensitive material.\n\nGrow into - leadership\nOwn signing flows end to end: job type design, API and CLI surfaces, and the customer experience on top of them.\n\nSupport post-quantum in production signing: ML-DSA dual signing on HSM-backed keys, LMS software keys, and hybrid flows.\n\nThroughout - self-service and agentic automation\nBuild the agent-assisted paths that let customers help themselves, and be rigorous about where a human must stay in the loop.\n\nMeasure it - deflection rate, time to first signature, onboarding time. If it does not move a number, it did not work.\n\nWhat we need to see:\nBachelor's or Master's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience).\n\n8+ years building and operating production software, including ownership of a service with real availability expectations.\n\nStrong hands-on engineering in Python, Java, Go or similar, across the full stack of a cloud service.\n\nWorking knowledge of applied cryptography - PKI, key management, digital signatures, HSM-backed systems. Depth here matters more than breadth elsewhere.\n\nPractical experience applying AI and agentic workflows to real engineering problems, with an honest view of where they help and where they do not.\n\nClear written communication and proactive habits. Our customers work to fixed silicon schedules and should hear from us before they have to ask.\n\nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nHands-on experience with code signing, HSM-backed key management, or software supply chain security.\n\nYou have replaced a ticket-driven process with genuine self-service, and can say what actually moved the needle.\n\nInterest in growing into broader technical leadership. The scope of this role is designed to expand.\n\nWidely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. As you plan your future, see what we can offer to you and your family www.nvidiabenefits.com/\nYour base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4, and 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5.You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.\nApplications for this job will be accepted at least until September 22, 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.
