We are seeking a thorough and collaborative Software Development Life Cycle Reviewer to join our Cybersecurity team, playing an essential role in maintaining NVIDIA’s high standards for secure, compliant, and legally sound software delivery.

The person filling this role will ensure that software releases and open source usage meet security, compliance, and licensing requirements.

• Developer Mentorship (SDLC): Provide clear, actionable guidance to platform developers on requirements intent, implementation methods, evidence expectations, and policy alignment. Collaborate with Security Architecture, Engineering, and Compliance teams for deeper reviews when needed.
• Developer Mentorship (Open Source): Advise platform developers on the Open Source License Review process, clarifying licensing and attribution requirements. Collaborate with OSRB for sophisticated or uncertain cases.
• Office Hours & Support: Host bi-weekly office hours and respond to questions in Slack support channels, using playbooks and established guidance to ensure developers receive consistent and timely support.

What We Need To See

• 5+ years experience working with developers and multi-functional teams to explain policy requirements in clear, actionable terms.
• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to lead multiple reviews and ensure timely resolution.
