Cyber Security Engineer

About the role

NVIDIA's Enterprise Security team is looking for a Senior Engineer responsible for maintaining and advancing our Identity Governance and Access Management platforms. This is a high-impact role at the center of NVIDIA's Zero Trust security journey — one that combines deep technical ownership with the opportunity to shape how a world-class technology company secures its identity infrastructure! Are you passionate about identity security and ready to make a measurable difference at scale? Here's what the role looks like.

What you'll be doing:

The Senior Engineer will build the strategy, planning, and management of our enterprise-wide Zero Trust architecture while driving continuous improvements across Active Directory, Entra ID, and SailPoint environments. Working alongside multi-functional teams, this position focuses on designing and implementing robust security policies and access controls, and providing technical mentorship on infrastructure improvements, third-party integrations, and platform upgrades across the organization.

This role holds accountability for the strategy, roadmap, and operations of our identity management and governance — ensuring tight alignment with our broader Zero Trust initiatives. A key part of the work involves spotting process gaps, implementing improvements, and establishing engineering guidelines that set the standard for the entire team. Specific responsibilities include:

- Implementing identity security capabilities such as SSO, conditional access, MFA, and privileged access.

- Administering and evolving the SailPoint IdentityNow environment, including governance workflows, access certifications, role management, and integrations with enterprise applications.

- Managing vendor relationships to resolve issues and deliver new platform features.

- Championing development standards and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

- Applying AI tooling to improve infrastructure visibility and stability: telemetry, health checks, anomaly detection, and AI-assisted diagnostics that surface issues before users report them and give end users faster, self-service resolution.

What we need to see:

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent experience.

- 10+ years of solid experience in handling Active Directory and Entra ID environments.

- Strong command of authentication protocols including LDAP, Kerberos, SAML, and OAuth.

- Experience with MFA and SSO technologies.

- Expertise across the full identity lifecycle: User Lifecycle Management, Access Certifications, Access Requests, role management, Workflow automation, and Delegated Administration.

- Proficiency in PowerShell scripting for automation and operational tasks, plus practical experience using AI tools in day-to-day engineering work.

- Hands-on experience with an Identity Governance platform — SailPoint IdentityNow or IdentityIQ strongly preferred.
