Senior Cybersecurity Engineer – Identity Platform and Access Management

Details

NVIDIA's Enterprise Security organization is hiring a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer focused on Identity Platform and Access Management. The role leads development, deployment, and improvement of large-scale identity and access management systems that protect developers, services, and AI agents across cloud, on-premises, and managed device environments. This is a multi-functional position connecting security architecture, platform engineering, and AI infrastructure, with a focus on modernizing authentication patterns for agentic AI and developer-scale workflows.

Responsibilities

• Lead enterprise identity strategy and platform architecture, including cloud identity and directory services.
• Transition applications to modern authentication standards (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML) and define reference architectures for secure authentication across CLI, browser, and agentic workflows.
• Architect and deploy a centralized token issuance and validation service for developer and CLI workflows, ensuring consistent trust and verification across device and session contexts.
• Define and integrate agent (non-human) identities into the identity platform to enable robust access control and auditability for automated workflows.
• Build and implement advanced identity security controls such as Conditional Access policies, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and risk-based authentication.
• Scale device management and identity governance systems for AI-powered operations, ensuring reliability, performance, and compliance at enterprise scale.
• Partner with cross-functional teams across security, infrastructure, and product to align architecture, build strategy, and operational ownership.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 12+ years of experience in platform or infrastructure engineering with extensive knowledge of authentication, authorization, and identity systems.
• Experience with token-based protocols and federated identity standards (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML) and device attestation.
• Demonstrable experience designing and leading identity or access management platforms in large-scale organizations.
• Strong understanding of Zero Trust architecture, identity-based attack techniques, and modern IAM controls.
• Experience securing automated or computer-controlled workflows, including service-to-service identity and non-human access patterns.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; experience influencing architecture decisions with senior and executive stakeholders.

Ways to Stand Out

• Background building enterprise-scale token services or centralized auth platforms with high availability and low latency.
• Deep knowledge of delegated access flows, managed device trust models, and securing both human and non-human identities.
• Experience establishing agent/service identities as first-class constructs in complex, multi-tenant environments.
• Hands-on application development experience contributing to auth libraries and SDKs.
• Experience leading enterprise identity transformations or directory modernization programs, including migrations from legacy authentication protocols at scale.

Benefits and Additional Information

• Base salary range: 196,000 USD - 310,500 USD (determined by location, experience, and pay of employees in similar positions).
• Eligible for equity and company benefits.
• Applications accepted at least until April 24, 2026.
• NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.
• NVIDIA is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion.
