• BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent program from an accredited University / College or equivalent experience

• 10+ years of professional experience in software development, with at least 5 years in architectural roles

• Extensive experience in designing and implementing security-focused services, particularly in fraud prevention and authentication systems

• Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and microservices architecture

• Strong knowledge of cryptography, identity and access management, and modern authentication protocols

• Expertise in data analysis and machine learning techniques applicable to fraud detection

• Proven track record of delivering complex, large-scale software projects with a security focus

• Excellent communication skills and ability to lead and mentor engineering teams

• Experience with implementing adaptive MFA systems that balance security and user experience

• Expertise in designing fraud detection systems that can operate at cloud scale

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Familiarity with behavioral biometrics and their application in authentication and fraud prevention

• Experience with privacy-preserving technologies and their integration into authentication systems

• Knowledge of regulatory compliance requirements related to fraud prevention and data protection (e.g., GDPR, PCI DSS)

• Contributions to open-source projects or publications related to security, fraud prevention, or authentication

• Experience with real-time data processing and analysis in the context of fraud detection and familiarity with blockchain or other distributed ledger technologies for enhancing security and traceability

At NVIDIA, we're committed to creating a secure and trustworthy cloud environment that pushes the boundaries of technology. If you're passionate about solving complex security challenges and creating innovative solutions that will shape the future of fraud prevention and account protection in cloud computing, we want to hear from you!
