An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.
Are you ready to direct a team at the forefront of technological advancement? We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer in Secure Cryptographic Services to join us. Want once in a lifetime opportunity to collaborate with the brightest minds, pushing the boundaries of innovation and making a lasting impact on the world!
What you'll be doing:
Architect and drive the enterprise-wide strategy for cryptographic integrity and software supply chain security, partnering with CPU, GPU, and NBU leaders to unify security standards across NVIDIA's diverse hardware and software ecosystems.
Own and build the implementation of a cloud-agnostic, hyper-scale signing and PKI infrastructure, using hybrid architectures (private cloud + AWS/Azure) to support the explosive growth of NVIDIA’s AI workloads and model provenance.
Define the architectural vision and governance for next-generation key management, including Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) readiness and automated, ephemeral credential rotation backed by HSM roots of trust.
Engineer high-assurance cryptographic ceremonies and verifiable transparency logs (integrating patterns like Sigstore), establishing a tamper-evident chain of custody for all NVIDIA software, firmware, and AI model artifacts.
Transform the internal developer experience by architecting self-service, globally distributed security platforms that abstract complexity, solving reliability and scalability challenges to deliver "secure cryptography as a platform" for thousands of engineers
What we need to see:
BS or MS in Computer Science Engineering or a related field of study (or equivalent experience).
10 + years of experience in crafting, and implementing software engineering cryptographic automation and solutions.
Solid understanding of cryptographic algorithms, such as key management, hashing, signing, and certificate creation.
Familiarity with AuthN/AuthZ concepts and frameworks for securing production and corporate access, including SSO, SAML Federated Identity, RBAC, and IAM policies.
Strong grasp of Python, Java or .NET programming languages, accompanied by experience.
Prior experience developing Cryptographic applications in a chip company and PKI software systems.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Knowledge and of the AWS cloud platform (or other CSPs), with experience architecting high-throughput services.
Technical leadership of cryptographic key & certificate management, and signing infrastructure, platform, or software systems.
Proficiency in Java, Python, Go and .NET programming is a plus.
Experience with threat modeling using tools such as Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool.
Experience with infrastructure and orchestration tools (Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, etc.) as well as background with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. As you plan your future, see what we can offer to you and your family www.nvidiabenefits.com/
