NVIDIA is a key player in the emerging space of sovereign computing, delivering in high security environments, and providing solutions for confidential computing. We’re a team of innovative engineers dedicated to solving some of the world’s biggest challenges, constantly driving advancements, and impacting millions of lives worldwide!

As a technology leader at NVIDIA, you will lead the development of secure DGX Cloud offerings for regulated and sovereign cloud environments (governments, defense). You will define and drive the technical strategy for compliance, controls and monitoring, and global deployment environments. Including defining the technical strategy for concerns related to data residence / data perimeter, network isolation, and one-way transfer strategies. You will work with NVIDIA leadership cross-functionally to build infrastructure that enables customers with the highest security and operational standards—without compromising on performance or developer experience.

 What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Various Architectural Work: define and drive the technical implementation for DGX Cloud offerings in regulated and sovereign environments, including FedRAMP, IL5/6, SOC2, and international equivalents.

  • Collaborate on Cross Domain Disciplines: drive awareness and technical strategy for regulatory compliance, high security, and overall security (detection, response, mitigation, prevention) into DGX Cloud engineering practices. 

  • Accelerate Global Expansion: Guide the secure delivery of DGX Cloud in international markets with sovereign data requirements and national security constraints.

  • Engage with External Stakeholders: Collaborate with public sector customers, regulatory agencies, and strategic partners to ensure NVIDIA’s solutions meet critically meaningful and jurisdictional needs.

  • Enablement: Ensure that DGX Cloud, our customers, and partners achieve compliance and successfully operate in regulated environments.

  • Full Software and System Lifecycle: From ideation, design, and development to ATO to active operations. Lead all technical aspects of readiness, control, monitoring, and continuous improvement of regulated cloud offerings.

What We Need to See:

  • 18+ overall years in technical roles with a focus on cloud infrastructure, platform security, or highly regulated deployment environments.

  • 8+ years of leadership experience

  • BS/MS or higher or equivalent experience in security, software engineering, or related engineering fields 

  • Technical proficiency in cloud-native architectures, isolation models, containerization, and secure multi-tenant systems.

  • Proven success delivering high-impact technically complex solutions that achieve regulatory compliance while maintaining high performance and operational excellence.

  • Technical Leadership: Ability to synthesize regulatory needs into architecture and design while guiding internal execution across diverse teams.

  • Communication and Teamwork: Strong collaboration and influence skills, capable of leading engineering engagement, communicating with government partners, and working with high security customers.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

  • Engineering Enablement: History of creating scalable processes and extensible  systems that facilitate compliance and security as foundational capabilities in hardware,  infrastructure and IaaS, platforms and applications.

  • Global Regulatory Expertise: Direct experience in designing, developing, delivering and operating secure cloud products in regulated markets (e.g., EU, Asia-Pacific, isolated and national clouds).

  • Public Sector Depth: Familiarity with government operational models (ATO), mission workloads, and the evolving security posture of public institutions.
