Senior Infra Security Engineer - EDA Clusters (Equity)

Salesonaut; Santa Clara (CA); On-site; USD 184,000 - 357,000; Full time

Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking an experienced Infrastructure Security Engineer for EDA Clusters in the United States. This hands-on role focuses on building and operating security controls across compute, storage, and networking, aligned with our multi-cloud and on-prem environments.

You will own implementations from design to production, partnering with cross-functional teams to harden platforms and protect long-running workloads. We value deep Linux expertise, scalable automation, and a proactive mindset.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of hands-on infrastructure or infrastructure-security engineering across on-prem and cloud environments.
• Strong Linux depth - you are comfortable at the system level, not just the console level.
• Real experience operating or securing compute fleets at scale: provisioning, lifecycle, and the operational realities of long-running jobs.
• Working networking expertise applied to large compute environments.
• Programming/scripting fluency (Python, Go, or shell) used for automation, detection, and tooling you've shipped and maintained.
• Solid foundations in access control, authentication, segmentation, encryption, and vulnerability lifecycle.
• A track record of landing changes with partners who don't report to you.
• Clear written and verbal communication - credible with individual engineers and with leadership.
• A Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate security controls and telemetry for EDA compute, storage, and networking - design, ship to production, then own them.
• Engineer around hard constraints. Protect multi-day, high-value compute jobs without degrading them.
• Make the network and platform the control plane. Protection can't depend solely on what runs inside the node.
• Instrument for detection. Collect and normalize security signals from the fleet into our SIEM, and build the detections and dashboards that turn it into something actionable.
• Investigate and respond. Chase down EDA-specific threats and exposure, and execute containment and remediation hands-on with infrastructure and service owners.
• Automate enforcement and evidence. Infrastructure-as-code and policy-as-code so secure configuration is the default state, with compliance evidence produced as an engineering output rather than a manual exercise.
• Run the lifecycle of the security technologies you own: selection, rollout, operation, and eventual replacement.
