Senior Security Engineer

Senior Security Engineer at NVIDIA

We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to champion and advance the security posture across NVIDIA's critical infrastructure, cutting-edge products, and essential services. As a leader in AI computing, NVIDIA drives innovation in areas like self-driving cars, machine learning, supercomputing, gaming, and visualization. Our dedicated security team is responsible for ensuring the security, compliance, and resilience of internal services, developer workflows, and customer-facing systems. We require a security professional who combines deep technical expertise with strong analytical and collaborative abilities to tackle complex security challenges at scale. If you are driven to protect pioneering technology and possess the capacity to embed security throughout an organization, join us and help shape the secure future of our systems.

What You Will Be Doing

• Apply systematic assessment and solution development to identify, assess, and remediate security risks across infrastructure, applications, and networks.
• Design and implement security controls, automation, and processes that improve our security posture and support compliance.
• Lead and participate in security initiatives including threat modeling, vulnerability management, zero-day response, and security architecture reviews.
• Collaborate with engineering, product, and operations teams to embed security into development lifecycles and streamline security processes.
• Communicate clearly with leadership, peers, and partners through reports, metrics, and presentations; provide technical support for high-urgency security incidents within SLA.
• Stay current on threats, tools, and guidelines in networks and cybersecurity; bring creative and innovative strategies to hardening our environment.

What We Need To See

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field (or equivalent experience), with 12+ years of relevant security engineering experience.
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, with experience tackling sophisticated security problems in large-scale or distributed environments.
• AI literacy and interest in securing AI systems, tooling, or data pipelines; experience with AI security or ML security practices.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to explain technical security concepts to technical and non-technical audiences and to document processes and findings.
• Demonstrated experience in information security: secure system design, identity and access management, network security (e.g., TLS, segmentation), and secure development practices.
• Hands-on technical skills: scripting or programming, familiarity with cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP), containers (Docker, Kubernetes, Kata), virtual machines, and security tooling.
• Proven teamwork and collaboration; ability to work with multi-functional teams and manage partner expectations while driving security outcomes.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Process optimization: experience improving security workflows, metrics, and operational efficiency; familiarity with Agile/DevSecOps and tools such as JIRA.
• Strong presentation and public speaking skills; comfort presenting to leadership or external partners and representing security in design and incident discussions.
• Curiosity and lifelong learning: track record of continuous learning in security (e.g., certifications, research, or open-source contributions) and applying new knowledge to real-world problems.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation), security compliance frameworks, and risk assessment methodologies.

NVIDIA is widely considered one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you are creative, collaborative, and passionate about security engineering, we want to hear from you!
