Principal Engineer, Security Architecture - DGX Cloud

What you'll do

• Own a security domain from design through production, including architecture and implementation.
• Embed with platform teams to build secure paths, threat-model systems, and engineer recurring classes of risk out of the platform.
• Develop reference architectures, requirements, and golden paths, collaborating across teams to integrate security into CI/CD and the hardware lifecycle.

What they ask for

• Typically 15+ years across software engineering, SRE, infrastructure, and security engineering; the posting also specifies 15+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong software engineering skills, including clean, maintainable, well-tested code and experience building and operating production services at scale.
• Experience designing and operating security architectures, and proven threat modeling and system design skills for complex distributed systems.
• Cloud-native architecture, Kubernetes, hands-on Linux systems security (eBPF, AppArmor, or SELinux), and ability to influence teams without authority.

Nice to have

• Experience securing HPC, RDMA-based networks, large GPU fleets, or GPU-specific systems.
• Expertise in workload identity (e.g., SPIFFE/SPIRE), TPM/HSM integration, confidential computing, offensive security translated into engineering, or security open-source contributions.
