Senior AI-Driven Offensive Security Engineer

NVIDIA Gruppe; California (MO); On-site; USD 224,000 - 431,000; Full time

Job summary

NVIDIA's Product Security organization is seeking a Senior Offensive Security Engineer to push the frontier of AI-driven offensive security. You will build autonomous red team agents, extend multi-agent harnesses, and encode operator tradecraft into prompts and tools for web, cloud, and Kubernetes attack paths.

You will help prove findings with exploit-verification harnesses and help safeguard autonomy with sandboxing and scope controls.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• 12+ years in security engineering with at least 4 years in offensive security
• Deep, hands-on exploitation skill in web apps, cloud/Kubernetes, or systems/binary
• Strong software engineering ability in Python; production code
• Experience building with LLMs: agent frameworks, tool use/function calling, multi-agent orchestration
• Sound judgment about autonomous offensive tooling and scope
• Respectful, responsible approach to offensive testing

Responsibilities

• Crafting and building new red team agents: autonomous and semi-autonomous LLM agents that perform reconnaissance, hypothesis-driven exploitation, and evidence capture against NVIDIA-owned targets
• Extending our existing agent harnesses across multiple agent runtimes and model providers
• Encoding operator tradecraft into prompts, tools, and playbooks for web app exploitation, auth bypass, SSRF/deserialization chains, cloud and Kubernetes attack paths
• Building the verification layer: exploit-confirmation harnesses that prove findings are real before a human sees them
• Engineering the safety side of autonomy: sandboxing, scope enforcement, tool allowlists/blocklists, credential isolation, and prompt-injection defenses
• Evaluating and benchmarking frontier models for offensive tasks; partnering with our human red team
• Mentoring engineers on the team and setting the technical bar for agentic offensive tooling
