About the Role

The Cloud Engineering & Services team is defining how agentic systems can be deployed responsibly across the enterprise. We are looking for a Principal Security Architect, Cloud Engineering & Services, to join our Agent Security, Safety, and Governance team and lead cross-company security architecture for agentic AI. You will use Agent Policy Fabric as a starting point for enterprise agent governance while coordinating efforts among various teams to turn a working draft architecture into practical security standards, roadmaps, and adoption plans.

Responsibilities

Lead Enterprise Agent Security Architecture: Define the cross-company reference architecture for governed agent actions, including durable policies, runtime controls, adapter boundaries, credential mediation, detector response, audit correlation, failure modes, and production-readiness criteria.
Drive APF as a Governance Starting Point: Translate Agent Policy Fabric concepts into executive-ready decision papers, engineering standards, threat models, control objectives, and implementation achievements.
Align Cross-Organization Owners: Partner with various teams to define ownership of control surfaces and agent workflow progression.
Build Security Review and Adoption: Establish review patterns for agent workflows, including policy authoring, approval, signing, runtime admission, credential issuance, direct-egress controls, audit evidence, anomaly management, and break-glass procedures.
Represent the Architecture: Brief senior leaders, customer-facing teams, and partner engineering teams on NVIDIA's agent security posture, APF maturation path, open decisions, known limitations, and required evidence for broader deployment.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) with 15+ years of industry experience in security architecture, product security, enterprise security platforms, identity and access management, cloud security, or infrastructure governance.
Validated ability to lead ambiguous, cross-functional security initiatives across product, platform, infrastructure, IT, and security operations teams.
Practical understanding of agentic AI risks, tool-call governance, prompt-injection limits, sandbox boundaries, credential exposure risks, audit requirements, and the difference between containment, authorization, and monitoring.
Experience designing controls around identity, authorization, policy, secrets, network egress, runtime isolation, telemetry, SIEM integration, exception workflows, and compliance evidence.
Ability to write crisp architecture memos, decision records, threat models, standards, and adoption plans that are useful to both senior leaders and implementation teams.

Skills

Agent Governance Experience
Experience securing agent platforms, AI copilots, autonomous workflows, MCP-style tool systems, sandboxed runtimes, or governed access to enterprise SaaS and engineering systems.
Policy and Identity Depth
Familiarity with OPA/Rego, Cedar, Zanzibar-style authorization, OAuth/OIDC, SAML, workload identity, delegated authorization, signed configuration, or enterprise trust-root distribution.
Large-Scale Security Programs
Track record driving company-wide security architecture across multiple business units, including standards, rollout plans, risk acceptance, exception handling, and measurable adoption.
External-Facing Architecture
Experience explaining security architecture to executives, customers, partners, standards bodies, or field teams while preserving bounded claims and clear implementation caveats.
