Job Description

Senior AI Security Researcher

NVIDIA

• Develop and answer open-ended AI security research questions that helps NVIDIA understand, measure, and reduce risk in frontier models, agentic systems, AI platforms, and AI-enabled products. • Develop practical methods, prototypes, evaluations, or tools that reveal how AI systems can fail under adversarial conditions and how those risks can be mitigated. • Explore a range of AI security problems, such as LLM and agent security, adversarial testing, model evaluation, cyber-defense automation, vulnerability discovery, secure deployment, or autonomous response. • Translate research into usable outcomes for engineering and security teams, including proof-of-concept demonstrations, benchmarks, technical guidance, mitigations, and secure-by-design recommendations. • Collaborate across offensive security, product security, AI research, platform, cloud, and infrastructure teams to connect research insights with NVIDIA's highest-impact security priorities. • Help shape NVIDIA's AI-security research strategy by mentoring others, identifying emerging risks, and building repeatable practices for evaluating and defending AI systems.

Job Requirements

  • 12+ years of experience in AI security, cybersecurity research, applied ML research, offensive security, cyber defense, or related technical fields.
  • Demonstrated record of original research and practical impact, such as deployed security ML systems, AI-security evaluations, CVEs, patents, publications, conference talks, open-source tools, production mitigations, or funded research programs.
  • Hands-on ability to build working research systems in Python and modern ML/data tooling such as PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy, Spark, BigQuery, or comparable platforms.
  • Experience with one or more AI-security areas: LLM security, adversarial ML, model evaluation, agent security, prompt injection, model backdoors, data poisoning, model abuse, secure RAG, synthetic data, or AI-enabled security automation.
  • Strong cybersecurity foundation, including threat modeling, adversary simulation, exploit or vulnerability research, malware analysis, network defense, threat hunting, detection engineering, digital forensics, secure code review, or incident-response automation.
  • Ability to work across ambiguous research problems and practical product constraints, translating findings into prioritized recommendations and measurable security outcomes.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Cybersecurity or a related field.
  • Experience leading AI-security research for major models, AI platforms, security products, or large-scale production systems.
