Nvidia Software Security Engineer 

United States, Texas

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Design and implement full stack applications to automate secure and compliant software release workflows

• Streamline the legal intake process by simplifying how developers register OSS usage and request license approvals through automation and smarter defaults.

• Build backend services and integrations to detect, assess, and track open source license usage across source code, containers, and binary artifacts.

• Develop APIs and tools that surface license risks to developers early in the lifecycle and enable secure-by-default release pipelines.

• Build agentic workflows that improve license data quality, resolve metadata gaps, and offer guidance for low-risk OSS usage scenarios.

• Integrate with internal platforms for SBOM generation, license risk analysis, vulnerability scanning, and PLC readiness to ensure SOL-aligned releases.

• Contribute to standardizing license classification, remediation workflows, and policy guardrails across teams.

• Collaborate closely with Engineering, Legal, and DevSecOps teams to align platform capabilities with evolving compliance requirements.

What We Need to See:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or equivalent experience.

• 3+ years of software engineering experience, preferably building developer or compliance platforms.

• Proficiency in Python and/or Go for backend services and platform logic.

• Experience designing REST APIs and deploying services in containerized cloud-native environments.

• Familiarity with open source license types (e.g., GPL, Apache, MIT) and their legal implications.

• Strong understanding of SBOM formats (e.g., SPDX, CycloneDX) and license detection tools

• Solid experience with CI/CD workflows and developer toolchains (e.g., GitHub, Jenkins, GitLab).

• Strong collaboration and multi-functional communication skills.

Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd:

• Experience building or integrating AI/agentic systems that support reasoning over license metadata or compliance guidance.

• Hands-on experience with legal compliance platforms, OSS license management, or policy-as-code implementations.

• Frontend proficiency with Angular and/or ReactJS for building intuitive UIs for legal or compliance insights.

• Experience integrating SCA (Software Composition Analysis) tools and managing remediation at scale.

• Background working with legal, open source, or policy governance teams in fast-paced product environments.
