Job summary

Jobtailor is seeking a senior security architect to lead cloud identity and access strategies across platforms and AI-enabled systems. You will design authorization boundaries, attestation, and risk-led patterns to protect non-human and human identities.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement robust identity controls, perform threat modeling, and mentor engineers on secure design and execution boundaries.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in cybersecurity or security architecture for distributed systems.
• Extensive knowledge of cloud authentication, IAM, workload and agent identities.
• Bachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent experience.
• Proficiency with OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SAML, and related token frameworks.
• Experience with workload and agent identity attestation and Zero Trust concepts.
• Ability to define fine-grained authorization boundaries and delegated access.
• Knowledge of certificate lifecycle management and crypto-agility.
• Hands-on with AI security risks in AI-enabled systems.

Responsibilities

• Outline the security architecture strategy for cloud authentication, authorization, workload identity, and agent identity across NVIDIA cloud platforms, AI-enabled systems, enterprise connectors, services, and automation.
• Outline processes for establishing, linking, authorizing, delegating, auditing, and retiring human, workload, service, and autonomous agent identities.
• Develop authorization and delegation frameworks for AI agents and enterprise connectors, encompassing consent, token exchange, prioritized authority, sensitive-action approval, revocation, and protections against confused‑deputy behavior.
• Lead architecture reviews and threat modeling for high‑risk identity and access flows.
• Establish identity lifecycle, telemetry, and emergency‑disablement patterns for token issuance, policy decisions, privilege elevation, tool invocation, data access, credential rotation, grant revocation, and compromised or untrusted identities.
• Convert emerging AI security risks into authentication, authorization, audit, and execution‑boundary requirements.
• Partner with identity, cloud, platform, application, AI security, governance, detection, and incident response teams to align architecture decisions with risk strategy and operational reality.
• Build reusable architecture patterns, decision records, exception criteria, and implementation mentorship.
