Senior Software Security Engineer

The NVIDIA Product Security Team is seeking a hands-on Security Engineer to join the Secure Development Platform team and help deliver scalable security solutions that enable secure, efficient, and auditable software releases. We’re looking for someone who can promote a “security first” culture while enabling product teams to integrate security, compliance, and quality earlier in the development lifecycle. The team builds secure platforms supporting program visibility, policy enforcement, and automation to meet the scale and complexity of NVIDIA’s diverse product ecosystem.

We are looking for a Senior Software Security Engineer to serve as a full stack developer building simplified tooling that standardizes and streamlines software releases across NVIDIA. Your mission will be to develop applications that unify quality, security, automation, and compliance across the software lifecycle, enabling transparent and auditable release frameworks. You'll also contribute to platform improvements for release tiering and context-driven PLC readiness. If you're passionate about advancing security through platform engineering, this role is for you!

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Design and implement full stack applications to automate secure software release workflows

• Drive the development and integration of in-house security tools and services, ensuring they meet the highest standards of efficiency and effectiveness.

• Build APIs and microservices to integrate security tooling with CI/CD pipelines

• Help streamline our security and compliance platform to support standardized release tiers

• Define and integrate release context into Product Life Cycle (PLC) processes

• Collaborate across engineering, compliance, and DevOps teams to embed security early

• Promote adoption of security services that increase automation and reduce developer friction

• Contribute to development standards that support early security issue detection (“shift left”)

What We Need to See:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or equivalent experience

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with emphasis on security or developer platforms

• Proficiency in Python and Go, building backend services and integrating front-end components

• Experience designing RESTful APIs and deploying microservices in containerized environments

• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (preferably AWS)

• Understanding of tools like Elasticsearch, Redis, RabbitMQ, S3, or SwiftStack

• Ability to build secure, scalable tooling that enhances engineering workflows

• Strong cross-functional communication and collaboration skills
   

Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd:

• Proficiency in modern front-end web development using Angular and/or ReactJS, with a focus on building responsive, intuitive, and maintainable UIs

• Knowledge of vulnerability reporting through CVE

• Working knowledge of open source Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools for binary artifact analysis, AI security scan (eg. pickling detection or trustworthy scanning) 

• A passion for building platforms that make secure development scalable, visible, and developer-friendly

The base salary range is 148,000 USD - 287,500 USD. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits. NVIDIA accepts applications on an ongoing basis.
