Senior Network Security Architect — Equity & AI Security

NVIDIA Corporation; Santa Clara (CA); On-site; USD 196,000 - 380,000; Full time

Job summary

NVIDIA Corporation seeks an senior network security architect to design and implement protective frameworks across firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs, and zero-trust controls. You will partner with IAM, ProdSec, and security teams to scale internal security tooling and enforce standards across the enterprise.

You will lead initiatives in agentic AI workload isolation, east-west segmentation, and secure cloud integration while producing clear documentation and architecture roadmaps.

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or equivalent experience.
• 12+ years of experience in building, managing and supporting large scale hybrid networks on the foundations of security.
• Experience developing automation technology with Python, Ruby, Go or other languages used in infrastructure automation.
• Advanced knowledge of NIST CSF, CIS controls, or MITRE ATT&CK frameworks.
• Strong knowledge of networking protocols and encryption services and how these serve elevated security posture for a network.
• Experience evaluating and testing new vendor platforms and in-house network initiatives for security issues.
• Knowledge of cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, and their respective security practices and services.
• Experience working cross-functionally with identity/IAM and product security teams to turn security capabilities into org-wide standards, not just point solutions.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity on emerging problem spaces — including securing AI agent platforms where standards and precedent are still being written.

Responsibilities

• Build and implement network protection frameworks, including firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, VPNs and other security technologies.
• Partner with Enterprise Security — working across IAM, network access control (NAC/802.1X), and Zero Trust identity/posture-based policy so that network access decisions are increasingly driven by who/what is connecting and its security posture, not just IP/VLAN placement.
• Partner with Product Security to enable NVIDIA's own security products and tooling for internal customers at scale — driving them into org-wide production use.
• Design network-level isolation for autonomous/agentic AI workloads and multi-tenant environments — defining trust-domain boundaries and segmentation models.
• Lead efforts to move NVIDIA's internal office and lab networks toward explicit east-west segmentation and micro-segmentation.
• Research, evaluate, and recommend security solutions, products, and technologies to enhance the network's security posture.
• Create and maintain documentation, including security policies, procedures, network diagrams, and reviews.
• Deliver guidelines and direction on security standards/policies/roadmaps like Zero Trust to ensure consistent security practices.
