AI in this role
Senior System Software Engineer owning cryptographic signing platforms and driving AI-enabled automated self-service tools like the 3S Copilot.
NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.
Are you ready to help safeguard the most important assets of the most valuable company in the world! Our Cryptographic Services team runs the Simple Signing Service (3S) — the HSM-backed platform that signs every NVIDIA product before shipping including our Networking business unit's every release: SpectrumX, Quantum, NVLink, ConnectX, BlueField and DOCA. Today that platform is operated entirely from the US. This role will expand and accelerate the signing platform engineering and scales the operational support to Israel. You would be the first member of Cryptographic Services located in Israel, and the local owner of signing services. We intend to grow this into a local team. Are you ready to help build it!
What you'll be doing:
Own 3S for Israel-based teams during local hours: triage, debug, resolve, and advance with context when it needs the wider US and India team.
Do the engineering, not just the ticket. Review and deploy production fixes, and take root causes back into the platform so the same failure does not return.
Onboard Networking and other Israel-based teams onto signing and key generation flows, and make that onboarding fast.
Drive AI-enabled automated self-service — the 3S Copilot, our MCP integrations, runbooks and docs — so the region can unblock itself without waiting for any time zone.
Be the regional voice in our planning: bring release calendars and bring-up achievements into our roadmap before they become blocking issues.
Partner closely with the US and India teams, and with Networking DevOps and release management in Israel.
Help hire and mentor the team as it grows, including interviewing and onboarding the engineers who follow you.
What we need to see:
BS or MS in Computer Science Engineering or a related field of study (or equivalent experience).
10+ years building and operating production software, with real ownership of a service — you have carried an on-call "pager" and resolved incidents under release pressure.
Strong hands-on engineering in Python, Java, Go or similar, with AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD and infrastructure as code.
Solid understanding of applied cryptography — PKI, digital signatures, key management — or the demonstrated ability to go deep in an unfamiliar technical domain quickly.
Clear communication in English, and the judgement to keep customers advised during an incident rather than after it.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Hands-on experience with code signing, HSMs, secure boot or software supply chain security.
Familiarity with NVIDIA Networking release and build environments — Gerrit, GitLab, Artifactory, firmware and DOCA pipelines.
You use AI and agentic tooling to remove repetitive work, and are pragmatic about where it helps and where it does not.
Widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. As you plan your future, see what we can offer to you and your family www.nvidiabenefits.com/
