As a Principal Engineer, Security Architecture - DGX Cloud within the Security Engineering organization, you will own a core security domain of the AI factory from design through production. You will collaborate with teams building GPU clusters and control planes to engineer "paved roads" that make secure paths the default for developers. Your daily work involves writing code, performing deep-dive threat models across orchestration layers and tenancy boundaries, and creating reference architectures for identity, network security, and supply-chain provenance. The role requires expertise in distributed systems, Kubernetes, Linux kernel primitives like eBPF, AppArmor, or SELinux, and experience with hardware root of trust or confidential computing. You will solve complex problems regarding multi-tenant isolation and GPU fleet security by building systemic solutions that eliminate entire classes of risk within the cloud infrastructure.
