In order to enable trustworthy AI systems in the future, all layers of AI systems need to be co-designed and co-optimized to provide strong, verifiable protection while still maximizing performance and energy efficiency. We are seeking candidates that have a proven track record of research excellence, a broad perspective on security/privacy across the full hardware/software stack, and depth in one of the layers such as computer architecture, programming languages, software systems, applied cryptography, and AI/ML algorithms.

  • Strong publication and research collaboration records.
  • Experience with experimental research and development.
  • Experience with C, C++, Python, and/or scripting languages.

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers! We have some of the most hardworking, resourceful and dedicated people in the world working for us. Are you a creative and collaborative security researcher who loves the challenge of exploring and crafting techniques that will impact our future products? If so, we want to hear from you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
