At NVIDIA, continuous innovation in AI and accelerated computing demands robust, automated, and secure production environments. We are seeking a deeply skilled Senior Staff Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to advance our enterprise security initiatives around identity and access, delivering zero trust outcomes by implementing, integrating, and scaling innovative technologies across cloud-native and hybrid infrastructures. This position requires a strong software engineering background, but focuses on reliability, scalability, and operational excellence. A strong candidate excels in crafting secure systems, integrating internal and commercial products, and using sophisticated tools.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Architect, operationalize, and scale zero trust identity and access platforms—driving reliability, automation, and secure credential and policy management across on-premise and cloud environments.
Integrate and automate the deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management of existing commercial and open-source products (SPIRE, Teleport, etc.), emphasizing ephemeral certificate-based authentication, mTLS, and SPIFFE protocols.
Advocate for operational guidelines for CI/CD, infrastructure as code (IaC), policy as code, and security observability, using tools like Kubernetes, Argo CD, Gitlab CI, Terraform, Vault, Prometheus, and Grafana.
Apply AI-assisted and data-driven approaches to automate anomaly detection, incident response, and compliance reporting, driving continuous improvement in system uptime and threat mitigation.
Collaborate with engineering, DevSecOps, and security teams to minimize manual intervention, limit privileged access, and enforce policy compliance through scalable automation.
Lead incident management, triaging, and blameless postmortems with security context, ensuring rapid root-cause analysis and recovery.
Conduct ongoing risk assessments, proactively address emerging threats and vulnerabilities, and contribute to post-incident reviews passionate about reliability and trust boundary breaches.
What We Need to See:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or proven experience.
10+ years of software engineering/DevOps/SRE experience, with a significant focus on operational security, automation, and identity management.
Proficiency in Linux administration, networking concepts, and security protocols.
Proven track record integrating and operating container platforms (Kubernetes, OpenShift, Nomad), with strong emphasis on automation and CI/CD (Argo CD, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Spinnaker, etc.).
Hands-on knowledge of zero trust security principles, including SPIFFE/SPIRE, mTLS, X.509 rotation, SSO, OAuth2/OIDC, LDAP, and cloud IAM services.
Experience with secrets management (Vault, AWS/Azure/Google Secret Manager, K8s Secrets) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation).
Proficient in observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, OpenTelemetry or equivalent experience) and policy automation frameworks.
Proficient in automation using Python, Go, or similar languages.
Demonstrated ability leading operational and incident response efforts at scale, developing runbooks and playbooks that leverage both automation and AI tools.
Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:
Direct experience operationalizing service mesh, identity federation, or policy engines in reliability-focused environments (Istio, Linkerd, Consul Connect).
Track record advancing zero trust architecture through automation and minimized human access, including ephemeral credentials and policy enforcement.
Background in integrating AI/ML-assisted tools for operational intelligence, anomaly detection, and reliability improvements.
Experience driving compliance, audit readiness, and operational security in cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure) and hybrid environments.
Relevant security/DevOps/SRE certifications and open-source contributions.
