We are hiring a Security Software Engineer to design and implement the hardware-backed security foundations used across OpenAI’s device ecosystem. A central focus of this role is hardening the boundary between our policy systems and the HSMs that protect sensitive cryptographic keys. This boundary determines which operations may be performed, what may be signed, which policies must be satisfied, and how changes to trusted software and policy are authorized. You will develop security-critical software and firmware within, or immediately adjacent to, an HSM trust boundary. Depending on your background, this may include HSM trusted applications, firmware services, cryptographic mechanisms, device drivers, PKCS#11 components, secure-provisioning protocols, or signing-policy enforcement systems. This is a hands-on software-engineering role. You will be expected to design systems, write and review production code, debug across hardware and software boundaries, and carry projects from initial requirements through deployment. It is not an HSM administration, PKI operations, compliance, or architecture-only position. In This Role, You Will Design and implement security-critical software and firmware for HSMs, secure elements, trusted execution environments, and hardware roots of trust. Build and harden the policy-to-HSM boundary responsible for authorizing certificate issuance and cryptographic signing operations. Develop HSM trusted applications, firmware components, host interfaces, device drivers, SDKs, or cryptographic service integrations. Implement or extend cryptographic interfaces such as PKCS#11, OpenSSL providers or engines, platform key-storage APIs, or comparable hardware-security interfaces. Build firmware and software that cryptographically enforces key generation, provisioning, usage, rotation, recovery, and destruction policies. Design and implement HSM-backed certificate authority, code-signing, key-management, and device-identity systems. Develop end-to-end

NVIDIA DGX Cloud is an AI Factory designed to power the next generation of AI and industrial-scale breakthroughs. As the Distinguished Engineer for Security Architecture, within our Security Engineering organization, you will set the security design bar for an AI factory of hundreds of thousands of GPUs, and then build against it alongside the teams. This is the founding architecture seat in a new organization. Security Engineering is a new organization at DGX Cloud, accountable for the security outcome of the platform, and this is the architecture function inside it. You will define the security design standard for DGX Cloud, a bar that sits above the company floor, and hold it from inside the teams doing the building. Security here is fleet horizontal and stack vertical, so your scope runs from the hardware root of trust and the hardened baseline, through tenancy and GPU workload isolation, to the services and APIs built on top, across every DGX Cloud engineering organization. A small team of Principal Engineers will report to you and hold the bar at domain depth. This is still a hands-on seat, and you stay in the design with them. You will also serve as DGX Cloud's technical interface into NVIDIA's central security organization. There is no architecture review board here and no approval queue; the bar holds because the strongest security engineers in the room helped set it and helped ship it. What You Will Be Doing: Set the DGX Cloud Security Bar: Own the security design standard across DGX Cloud (tenancy, GPU workloads, identity, supply chain, and isolation) and make it concrete. Reference architectures, golden paths, and requirements engineers can actually build against, not a policy library. Hold the Bar by Building: Embed with engineering teams on real work: join the design, learn the code, help ship the thing rather than grade it afterward.
