NVIDIA DGX Cloud is an AI Factory designed to power the next generation of AI and industrial-scale breakthroughs. As a Principal Engineer for Security Architecture, within our Security Engineering organization, you will own a core security domain of the AI factory: the architecture, the paved road that delivers it, and much of the code underneath. You will hold the security design bar across DGX Cloud from inside the teams doing the building, and this is a founding seat on a new team. Security Engineering is a new organization at DGX Cloud, accountable for the security outcome of the platform, and Security Architecture is the function inside it that holds the design bar. Security here is fleet horizontal and stack vertical, so your work will cross every DGX Cloud engineering organization: you will embed with the teams building GPU clusters, control planes, and services, join their designs as a participant rather than an approver, and leave behind systems in which an entire class of risk is no longer possible. There is no architecture review board here and no approval queue. You are a senior IC with deep security domain knowledge, and the security bar holds because you helped set it and then helped ship it. What You Will Be Doing: Own a Security Domain End to End: Take architectural ownership of a core domain of DGX Cloud security, from the design through the system running in production. That could be tenant and GPU workload isolation, workload identity, infrastructure and network, supply-chain provenance, hardened baselines and patching, or deploy-time policy and admission control. Embed with the Teams Building It: Join the design early, write the code, and help land it. The posture is not "you did this wrong." It is "here are the considerations we need to meet, I will help, let's go to work." Build Paved Roads, Not
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.
