TL;DR · Principal Security Data Engineer, Infrastructure Security Engineering - DGX Cloud

As a Security Data Engineer at NVIDIA’s Infrastructure Security Engineering team, you will design and build the data backbone for our AI supercomputing platform, transforming telemetry from a 250,000+ GPU fleet into actionable insights through robust pipelines, lakehouse architecture, and analytics. Your day-to-day involves creating secure, scalable data systems that integrate diverse sources of security telemetry and asset inventory, ensuring data integrity and trustworthiness while enabling real-time detection and autonomous actions. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to establish data contracts and standards, requiring expertise in production-grade coding (Python, Go, Scala, SQL), distributed data systems, and a strong background in data modeling and schema design. Experience with security telemetry, HPC/AI fleet management, and AI-ready data engineering is highly valued for this role that demands deep technical proficiency and intellectual curiosity.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and operate security data pipelines for telemetry from a 250,000+ GPU fleet.
  • Architect and manage a data lake/lakehouse using open formats for diverse data types.
  • Develop the analytics layer for posture scoring, coverage metrics, and multi-source correlation.
  • Secure the data platform with encryption, RBAC/ABAC, audit logging, and network isolation.
  • Ensure data quality and trust through stable identity, source attribution, and history tracking.

What we're looking for

  • 15+ years experience in designing, building, and operating large-scale production data pipelines and lakes.
  • Expertise in coding for production environments using languages like Python, Go, Scala, or SQL.
  • Proven ability to design robust data models and schemas that evolve without breaking existing systems.
  • Hands-on experience with modern distributed data systems including streaming, batch processing, and interactive query engines.
  • Strong background in securing data systems through encryption, access control, audit logging, and isolation.
  • Track record of enabling analytics on large datasets for low-latency querying and dashboarding.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.
