## Description

NVIDIA is seeking a software engineer with systems software and security experience to join the Data Center Systems Software team. You will investigate and resolve product vulnerabilities and strengthen Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) practices for platforms including HGX, DGX, and MGX.

What You'll Be Doing:

 * Investigate and reproduce vulnerabilities, assess exploitability and impact, and identify affected products and software versions.

 * Assess third-party vulnerabilities and coordinate dependency updates, mitigations, or documented exceptions.

 * Drive timely remediation with engineering owners and PSIRT Operations, including risk prioritization, escalation, and coordinated vulnerability disclosure.

 * Develop or review security fixes, validate mitigations, develop regression tests, and coordinate updates across supported releases.

 * Build automation for vulnerability triage, analysis, and tracking.

 * Improve SDL practices through threat modeling, security design reviews, and other best-practices.
