Ways to stand out from the crowd: * Application of isolation mechanisms such as sandboxing, containers, virtualization, and privilege separation. * Built or maintained static or binary analysis tooling. * Experience defining security baselines or policy-as-code. * Solid understanding of toolchains such as GCC, GDB. ## Description Today, we're tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. 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. We are looking fora highly motivated security engineer to join the GPU Software team. You will focus on automating how we enforce our security bar across every SW release, using both traditional tooling and AI agents, and help teams across the organization adopt them. What you'll be doing: * Lead our adoption of AI agents in security, finding manual workflows and reinventing them. * Take proven agentic workflows through development and into production, drive adoption across engineering teams. * Translate security requirements (hardening flags, isolation mechanisms, security invariants) into automated, per-release checks across software ranging from firmware to user-mode applications. * Own and maintain the release security scanning pipeline, and prioritize its findings with product teams. * Collaborate in the broader security engineering work: threat modeling, arch reviews, vulnerability mitigation & remediation. ## Related Videos - [Building, securing and governing AI infrastructure in the Era of Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100129-building-securing-and-governing-ai-infrastructure-in-the-era-of-agentic-ai) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Policy as [versioned] code - you're doing it wrong](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/532-policy-as-versioned-code-you-re-doing-it-wrong) - [Building Developer Experience - Brick by Brick](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1461-building-developer-experience-brick-by-brick) - [Coffee with Developers - Stephen Jones - NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1303-coffee-with-developers-stephen-jones-nvidia) - [Agent Smith Gets Hardware: Autonomous IoT Hacking From Debug Port to Cloud API](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100258-agent-smith-gets-hardware-autonomous-iot-hacking-from-debug-port-to-cloud-api) ## Related Articles - [What’s the latest in NVIDIA CUDA Python](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/568-what-s-the-latest-in-nvidia-cuda-python) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Dev Digest 138 - Are you secure about this?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/486-dev-digest-138-are-you-secure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Dev Digest 157: CUDA in Python, Gemini Code Assist and Back-dooring LLMs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/557-dev-digest-157-cuda-in-python-gemini-code-assist-and-back-dooring-llms) - [ I Gave a Video Editor More Autonomy Than a Trading Bot.
