Job summary

NVIDIA's Product Security organization seeks a Senior Offensive Security Engineer to advance AI-driven offensive security. You will craft autonomous agents, extend multi-agent harnesses, and encode operator tradecraft for real-world exploitation across web apps, cloud, and systems.

This hands-on role demands deep exploitation skills and production-grade Python. Lead and mentor engineers, work with frontier models, and contribute to repeatable agent capabilities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
• 12+ years in security engineering, with at least 4 years in offensive security.
• Hands-on exploitation skill in web apps, cloud/Kubernetes, or systems/binary.
• Strong Python software engineering: production code, not just PoCs.
• Experience building with LLMs: agent frameworks, tool use, orchestration.
• Sound judgment on autonomous offensive tooling: scoping and authorization.
• Respectful approach to offensive testing with safe practices.

Responsibilities

• Craft and build new red team agents: autonomous and semi-autonomous LLM agents for reconnaissance, exploitation, and evidence capture against NVIDIA-owned targets.
• Extend existing agent harnesses across multiple runtimes and providers.
• Encode operator tradecraft into prompts, tools, and playbooks for web app exploitation, auth bypass, SSRF/deserialization paths, cloud/Kubernetes attack paths.
• Build verification layer: exploit-confirmation harnesses to prove findings before humans see them; reduce false positives.
• Develop safety: sandboxing, scope enforcement, tool allowlists/blocklists, credential isolation, and prompt-injection defenses.
