Senior Offensive Security Engineer – Data Center Systems

About the role

NVIDIA is searching for a highly motivated, creative engineer with experience in system software and a background in security to join the Server Platform Software team. You will focus on offensive security efforts for our Data Center Systems, such as NVIDIA HGX, DGX, and MGX. NVIDIA is leading the way in groundbreaking developments in Artificial Intelligence, High-Performance Computing and Visualization. The GPU, our invention, serves as the visual cortex of modern computers and is at the heart of our products and services.

What you’ll be doing:

Find vulnerabilities and write exploits against Data Center Systems firmware. Targets include management controllers, roots of trust, BIOS, GPUs, SmartNICs, and NVLink switches.

Work from the platform's threat models: tenants attacking the management plane, operators attacking confidential workloads, and tampering in the supply chain

Get people excited about security: influence change, mitigate issue classes, and enhance defense in depth

Automate finding bugs, judging their severity, and mapping them to platform-level threats

What we need to see:

Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience

5+ years in security engineering or vulnerability research, including 4+ years of software engineering

Exceptional C and Python skills, and fluency reading ARM or RISC-V assembly

Experience auditing embedded firmware, Linux applications, and network-facing services

Experience with modern fuzzers such as AFL++, libFuzzer, or syzkaller, and with static analysis

Knowledge of modern server architecture and secure boot

Clear written and verbal communication with engineering teams and leadership

Effective collaboration with remote teams

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Reverse engineering and exploit development experience on embedded targets

Experience attacking or building trusted computing: measured boot, attestation, confidential computing

Familiarity with GPU-accelerated computing systems and their management planes

Experience decomposing and completing complex technical tasks

Published CVEs, public security write-ups, or other work samples
