Description

We are seeking an engineering leader to build and run Infrastructure Security Engineering for EDA Clusters, a team responsible for implementing security controls across compute, storage, and networking for NVIDIA's hardware engineers designing silicon. The successful candidate will operate as a peer counterpart to NVIDIA's company-wide security organization and hardware infrastructure engineering, translating enterprise security intent into controls that hold up at EDA scale without slowing chip design down.

The role involves building and leading a team of engineers with a focus on practical, production-proven results. You will own the technical roadmap, partner with various security teams and infrastructure engineering to architect the roadmap for EDA-specific security controls, and ship them into production.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Building and leading a team of engineers
  • Designing security controls that protect multi-day compute jobs without degrading them
  • Determining where conventional endpoint and workload security tooling fits and designing alternatives
  • Driving consistent application of security frameworks across on-prem data centers and multi-cloud platforms
  • Running the full lifecycle of core infrastructure security technologies
  • Automating evidence and building KPIs, instrumentation, and audit workflows
  • Thinking like an adversary and mitigation planning across network, storage, and compute
  • Championing security by design and embedding automation and secure defaults into the infrastructure lifecycle

Requirements:

  • 12+ years of experience building and operating production infrastructure at scale
  • 5+ years of experience leading and managing engineering teams
  • Deep networking expertise applied to large compute environments
  • Hands-on experience operating compute fleets at scale
  • Deep understanding of hyperscaler methodologies for operating large-scale systems with security and reliability as co-equal goals
  • Experience securing performance-sensitive or high-throughput environments
  • Extensive history of building and guiding engineering teams responsible for complex distributed or multi-cloud architectures
  • Demonstrated ability to drive unified outcomes across organizational boundaries
  • Exceptional communication skills

Preferred qualifications:

  • Experience building or operating infrastructure security capabilities at a hyperscaler or security product company
  • Experience with kernel- and fabric-level observability and enforcement
  • Track record leading security or platform engineering inside EDA, HPC, or large research-cluster environments
  • Experience driving infrastructure-as-code and policy-as-code

NVIDIA offers a salary range of 272,000 USD - 431,250 USD for Level 4 and 320,000 USD - 488,750 USD for Level 5, as well as equity and benefits.
