NVIDIA's Enterprise Security team seeks a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer to lead the development of large-scale identity and access management systems across cloud, on-premises, and managed devices. This role involves establishing an enterprise-wide identity framework, modernizing authentication patterns for AI and developer workflows, and implementing advanced security controls like Conditional Access policies and risk-based authentication. Key responsibilities include architecting centralized token issuance services, securing automated workflows, and scaling device management systems to meet growing demands in AI-powered operations. The ideal candidate has over 12 years of experience in platform engineering with expertise in modern identity protocols such as OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SAML, along with a deep understanding of Zero Trust architecture and secure non-human access patterns. Hands-on development skills and the ability to lead enterprise-scale transformations are essential for this high-impact role at NVIDIA.

What you'll do

  • Lead development of enterprise identity strategy and platform architecture for cloud identity and directory services.
  • Define secure authentication reference architectures for CLI, browser, and agentic workflows.
  • Architect centralized token issuance and validation service for consistent trust across developer and device contexts.
  • Establish robust access control and auditability for automated AI and machine-assisted workflows.
  • Build advanced identity security controls including Conditional Access policies and risk-based authentication.

What we're looking for

  • Over 12+ years of experience in platform or infrastructure engineering with expertise in authentication, authorization, and identity systems.
  • Demonstrable experience leading the development of large-scale identity and access management platforms.
  • Solid understanding of Zero Trust architecture, modern IAM controls, and identity-based attack techniques.
  • Experience securing automated workflows and service-to-service identities within complex environments.
  • Established background in building high-availability token services or centralized authentication platforms at enterprise scale.
  • Deep knowledge of federated identity standards, device attestation, and delegated access flows.
  • Demonstrated ability to establish agent or service identities in multi-tenant environments.
