• Partner with team members to translate business needs into data-driven, agent-ready solutions that reduce manual effort and improve decision velocity.
• Architect and implement MCP pattern integrations that enable security agents to interact with data systems, tools, and APIs in a structured, scalable way.
• Own the design, deployment, and maintenance of ETL and agentic data pipelines to ingest, transform, and serve data from multiple sources into our data lakehouse and downstream agent consumers.
• Ensure data security, privacy, and governance are implemented across all pipelines and agent-accessible data surfaces.
• Continuously monitor, optimize, and resolve issues with data infrastructure, pipelines, and agents for efficiency, accuracy, speed, and scalability in support of real-time agent workloads.
• Mentor other engineers on data engineering, MCP patterns, and agent-native design principles.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, IT, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8+ years of working experience in Automation Engineering and Data Engineering.
• Proficiency with Python, Go, C++, or other relevant languages.
• Experience working and building production workflows with AI, agents, and MCPs.

What if you could create autonomous AI tools that redefine how security works at one of the most innovative companies in the world? The NVIDIA Office of the Chief Security Officer is looking for an AI and Automation Engineer to help us create something new - an AI-native, agent-enabled security organization built from the ground up. As part of the Assurance Engineering team, you'll partner domain experts who will help you understand the problem space while you bring the engineering skills to solve it. You'll also collaborate across the broader CSO organization to design and build the agent infrastructure, data pipelines, and MCP integrations that make it all real. If you love building intelligent systems and want to see them make a real impact, this is the role for you.
