• 8+ years of relevant work experience.

• First-hand work with Machine Learning, Deep-Learning, or Artificial Intelligence.

• Familiarity with current attacks on ML models, including adversarial examples, training data extraction, model extraction, and data poisoning.

• Background with attacks on and attack surface of LLM-powered systems, including direct and indirect prompt injection, guardrail evasion, and tool abuse.

• Experience using modern Deep Learning software architectures and frameworks like Jax or PyTorch

• Experience with security development lifecycle processes and tools

• Programming and debugging fundamentals across languages such as Python, C/C++

• Strong communication skills and a real passion for working as a team are essential

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Use of AI in vulnerability research or some other offensive domain

• Experience analyzing AI-generated code for security issues

• Demonstrated experience in MLops or Deep learning related infrastructure

• Understanding of data science, statistical analysis, and visualization

• Background of AI Trust principles and familiarity with application of ethical and safety perspectives to AI implementations

NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, we are increasingly known as “the AI computing company.” We are looking to grow our teams with the most resourceful people in the world. Security is a key foundation to all that we do at NVIDIA. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
