Security Research Engineer, AI Safety and Security Engineering

NVIDIA is a technology company advancing AI, cybersecurity, and defense through open-weight models and AI-powered tools. The Security Research Engineer will develop methods to validate software vulnerabilities and generate safe, correct patches, while defining quality and revalidation standards for internal targets. The role also involves applied vulnerability research, documentation, and collaboration with engineering teams using AI-assisted workflows.

Responsibilities:

• Validation methods: Develop techniques that confirm vulnerabilities are real and reachable
• Patch methods: Advance approaches for generating and verifying safe fixes
• Quality standards: Define correctness, regression, and revalidation standards with reviewers
• Applied research: Work bounded vulnerability classes against internal targets

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) with 12+ years in security research or software engineering
• Security foundations: Hands-on vulnerability research, fuzzing, program analysis, or secure development in C, C++, or Python
• Fix quality: Rigor about what makes a fix correct and safe, including regression and behavior preservation
• AI-assisted workflows: Comfort using AI-assisted tools for analysis and development
• Public research: CVEs, advisories, or publications in vulnerability research
• Analysis tooling: Experience building or extending fuzzers, static analyzers, or symbolic-execution tools
• Agentic ML: Familiarity with LLM-based coding or analysis agents
