Senior Infrastructure Security Engineer – EDA Clusters

Details

Securing NVIDIA's EDA clusters requires security controls designed for workloads that are large, long-running, and performance-sensitive. As an individual contributor on the Infrastructure Security Engineering for EDA Clusters team, you will implement security controls across the compute, storage, and networking infrastructure used to design silicon, spanning on-premises data centers and multi-cloud environments. You will work alongside the engineers operating these clusters 24x7 to deploy controls, investigate behavior, and modify the running environment.

This is hands-on engineering work rather than control review. You will determine where conventional tooling applies, where it cannot, and engineer alternative solutions. The role focuses on code, instrumentation, secure-by-default infrastructure, and ownership of security outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate security controls and telemetry for EDA compute, storage, and networking, from design and production deployment through ongoing ownership.
• Engineer protections for multi-day, high-value compute jobs without degrading performance; build alternatives where heavyweight in-node agents are not viable.
• Use the network and platform as the security control plane rather than relying solely on software running inside nodes.
• Collect and normalize security signals from the fleet into the SIEM.
• Build detections and dashboards that make security telemetry actionable.
• Investigate and respond to EDA-specific threats and exposures, including hands-on containment and remediation with infrastructure and service owners.
• Automate enforcement and evidence using infrastructure-as-code and policy-as-code so secure configuration is the default state.
• Produce compliance evidence as an engineering output rather than through manual processes.
• Own the lifecycle of security technologies, including selection, rollout, operation, and replacement.
• Partner with data center operations, IT storage and networking, network engineering, cloud service provider teams, and NVIDIA's central security organization.
• Perform threat modeling and mitigation planning across network, storage, and compute environments.

Requirements

• 8 or more years of hands-on infrastructure or infrastructure-security engineering experience across on-premises and cloud environments.
• Strong Linux expertise and system-level experience.
• Experience operating or securing compute fleets at scale, including provisioning, lifecycle management, and long-running jobs.
• Working networking expertise applied to large compute environments.
• Programming or scripting fluency in Python, Go, or shell, used to ship and maintain automation, detection, and tooling.
• Solid foundations in access control, authentication, segmentation, encryption, and vulnerability lifecycle management.
• Experience delivering changes with partners outside your reporting line.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work with individual engineers and leadership.
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field or equivalent experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Security or platform engineering experience in EDA, HPC, or large research-cluster environments.
• Breadth across security domains such as IAM, EDR/XDR, CNAPP, CSPM, and zero-trust architectures, or a demonstrated ability to learn new domains quickly.
• Experience building or operating infrastructure security capabilities at a hyperscaler or security product company, including detection and enforcement systems.
• Experience with kernel- and fabric-level observability and enforcement, including eBPF, in-line and out-of-band inspection, or DPU/SmartNIC offload.
• Contributions to open-source security or infrastructure tooling.

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary range of USD 184,000–287,500 for Level 4.
• Base salary range of USD 224,000–356,500 for Level 5.
• Equity and benefits are included.
• Applications will be accepted at least until October 24, 2026.
• NVIDIA is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to an inclusive work environment.
