## About the Role

You will work with engineering, infrastructure, research, platform, legal, compliance, and executive teams to identify risks, respond to incidents, and build resilient security programs for next-generation AI infrastructure.
What you'll be doing: + Develop and lead incident response and disaster recovery plans for pre-production clusters. + Work with infrastructure, networking, storage, OS, firmware, and application teams to harden systems. + Train peers and users on practical security standard methodologies. + Build and enforce security controls, systems, and policies for cluster infrastructure of new NVIDIA hardware. + Identify, assess, and reduce cybersecurity risks; report major risks clearly to leadership. + Investigate security incidents and drive root-cause analysis. + Ensure systems meet IT, legal, regulatory, and information security standards. + Improve security governance, documentation, and audit readiness What we need to see: + Experience in programming secure computing environments, with strong proficiency in C/C++. + Linux kernel hardening (SELinux/AppArmor) and observability (eBPF). + Experience securing large-scale Linux infrastructure. + Proven understanding of security risks and
how to reduce them. + Demonstrated understanding of incident response and breach handling. + Clear written and verbal communication with technical and leadership audiences. + Experience with compute and networking systems security architectures. + Experience in securing AI agents using sandboxing technologies and AI-based threat detection (e.g.
Mythos) + BS in Computer Science, Engineering, Cybersecurity, or equivalent experience.
8+ yrs of relevant experience.
Ways to stand out from the crowd: + Developing secure software in Rust, prioritizing memory safety.
Experience with modern authentication and identity frameworks such as OAuth 2.1, OIDC, Kerberos, FIDO2/WebAuthn. + Experience with Microsoft Active Directory and Entra ID, including cross-realm trusts and identity federation (SCIMv2).
Experience managing centralized Linux identity (FreeIPA/RHEL IdM/SSSD), including PKI lifecycle management and Host-Based Access Control. + Experience hardening HPC schedulers and storage, Slurm alongside parallel filesystems like Lustre and NFS. + Experience securing containerized workloads (Docker, Enroot, Kubernetes).
Knowledge of high-speed fabric security like InfiniBand PKeys/MKeys. + Zero Trust, ZTNA, VRFs, VLANs, performance-optimized firewalls.
Use of advanced vulnerability management and supply chain mitigation (CVSS 4.0, SBOM).
