Senior Infrastructure Security Engineer – EDA Clusters

Job Title

Senior Infrastructure Security Engineer – EDA Clusters

Role Summary

Individual contributor responsible for designing, deploying, and operating security controls and telemetry for NVIDIA's EDA compute, storage, and networking across on-premises data centers and multi-cloud. Work closely with cluster operators to implement and own security outcomes.

This is hands-on engineering: code, instrumentation, secure-by-default infrastructure, and operational ownership rather than policy reviews.

Experience Level

Senior - typically requires 8+ years of hands-on infrastructure or infrastructure-security engineering experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include building and operating security for performance-sensitive, long-running compute clusters.

• Design, ship to production, and operate security controls and telemetry for compute, storage, and networking.
• Engineer solutions that protect multi-day, high-value compute jobs without degrading performance.
• Use the network and platform as the control plane when in-node agents are not viable.
• Collect and normalize fleet security signals into the SIEM; build detections and dashboards that are actionable.
• Investigate, contain, and remediate EDA-specific threats hands-on with infrastructure and service owners.
• Automate enforcement and evidence via infrastructure-as-code and policy-as-code.
• Manage the lifecycle of owned security technologies: selection, rollout, operation, and replacement.
• Collaborate with data center operations, storage and network engineering, CSP teams, and central security on shared outcomes.
• Perform threat modeling and mitigation planning across network, storage, and compute.

Requirements

Required skills and experience.

• 8+ years of hands-on infrastructure or infrastructure-security engineering across on-prem and cloud environments.
• Strong Linux/system-level expertise.
• Experience operating or securing compute fleets at scale, including provisioning, lifecycle, and long-running jobs.
• Working networking expertise applied to large compute environments.
• Programming/scripting fluency in Python, Go, or shell for automation, detection, and tooling.
• Foundations in access control, authentication, segmentation, encryption, and vulnerability lifecycle management.
• Proven ability to drive changes through partners and stakeholders who do not report to you.
• Clear written and verbal communication with engineers and leadership.

Nice-to-have:

• Security or platform engineering experience in EDA, HPC, or large research clusters.
• Breadth across security domains (IAM, EDR/XDR, CNAPP, CSPM, zero-trust) or rapid domain learning.
• Experience building detection and enforcement systems at hyperscalers or security product companies.
• Experience with kernel- and fabric-level observability/enforcement (eBPF, DPU/SmartNIC offload, in-line/out-of-band inspection).
• Contributions to open-source security or infrastructure tooling.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field or equivalent practical experience; equivalent experience is explicitly acceptable in lieu of a degree.
