These services form the core fabric powering NVIDIA's internal platforms, enterprise offerings, and customer-facing cloud products.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and build the next-generation authorization service that meets evolving business needs.
  • Build for internet-scale with a focus on delivering strong guarantees in reliability, redundancy, fault tolerance, and security.
  • Develop core primitives and onboarding workflows that make it easy for teams across NVIDIA to adopt and integrate with the service.
  • Build robust monitoring, alerting, and operational insights to ensure top-tier performance and service health.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of proven experience building backend or distributed systems in Golang, Java, or Python.
  • Strong hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred).

Ways to Stand Out

  • Experience building Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) or Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC) systems in cloud or distributed environments.
  • Familiarity with identity and authorization standards: OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, SCIM.
  • 1+ years in a technical leadership role, driving architecture or guiding teams.
  • Experience with modern cloud-native technologies: Kubernetes, Envoy, Prometheus, Grafana.
  • Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) experience or operational excellence mindset.
