At NVIDIA, we are stewards of AI. Agents are now a crucial part of cybersecurity where NVIDIA collaborates to set the standard. As model functionality increases and the cybersecurity landscape evolves, we need agents that can seamlessly interface between humans, models, and computing artifacts to build secure environments. Our Agentic & AI Cybersecurity Research team at NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Engineer. Building leading software ahead of the curve to accelerate and improve cybersecurity tooling for AI. Developing reusable skills, CLI tools, APIs, and integration patterns to help internal teams embrace secure agent approaches across enterprise tools and platforms. Partnering closely with teams across Enterprise Security, Product Security, Enterprise AI, Enterprise Product, and relevant platform teams to align architecture with real workflow needs and operational constraints. Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related field. 8+ years in software engineering, security engineering, or related areas, including hands‑on technical leadership. Excellent software engineering skills, including crafting and building backend services, APIs, automation, or platform components in various programming environments. Experience with multi‑contributor software projects and long‑running software projects. Familiarity with building agents, AI tooling, and architectures. Track record of framing problem spaces, defining an MVP, prototyping quickly, and evolving ideas into production systems. Familiarity with offensive security, adversarial thinking, red teaming, or attack‑path analysis, capable of applying that perspective to architecture decisions and security tradeoffs. Excellent software engineering instincts, including the ability to build reusable frameworks, understand and refine requirements, build tooling that improve engineering velocity and consistency. Deep familiarity with open‑source projects, including community involvement, workflow, and governance. Experience with agentic or AI‑adjacent systems, such as tool‑using applications, workflow orchestration, evaluation loops, policy controls, memory/context services, or trust and discovery systems. Understanding of AI‑specific security risks such as injection, tool misuse, unauthorized access expansion, data exfiltration, or unsafe delegation patterns.
