Full job description
NVIDIA is widely recognized as one of the most desirable employers, with some of the world's most dedicated people working for us! The Cloud Engineering & Services team is building an enterprise governance layer for agentic systems: signed policy, runtime verification, policy projection, credential mediation, detector verdict handling, and common audit across runtime substrates and enterprise integrations.
We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer, Agent Policy Fabric (APF) Core Platform, to join our Cloud Engineering & Services team and mature the scoped APF v0 proof-of-life into a robust core platform for governed agent action. You will play a critical role in building the foundations for the signed policy, Runtime Policy Verifier, projection, conformance, and failure mode that future APF deployments depend on.
What You'll Be Doing:
Own APF Core Services: Build and harden the Runtime Policy Verifier, signed policy bundle verification, trust-root handling, freshness, rollback protection, subject binding to attested runtime context, revocation checks, and authorization APIs used by APF-compatible enforcement points.
Design Policy Projection: Implement deterministic projections from the canonical APF policy into OpenShell-native runtime policy, adapter constraints, credential constraints, audit requirements, and model-visible tool hints, while preserving the atomic projection-admission contract.
Build Conformance and Verification: Create golden fixtures, compatibility tests, negative tests, fuzz/property tests, and conformance suites that prove APF-compatible runtimes and adapters honor the same contract.
Collaborate with Runtime Owners: Engage alongside OpenShell and Infrastructure engineers on public runtime interfaces for projection consumption, runtime context attestation, approved adapter paths, direct egress verification, and admission/rejection semantics.
Land the Runtime integration surfaces. Own the cross-team work with OpenShell and other runtime owners to land public substrate interfaces APF composes against — runtime-context attestation, approved adapter path declaration, projection acceptance and rejection semantics, quarantine, and stop-session hooks. Land each as a public RFC or PR.
Drive Architecture Maturity: Define versioning, schema compatibility, latency budgets, availability behavior, fail-closed defaults, last-known-good policy handling, and engineering review artifacts for Product Security, Fleet, Identity, and partner teams.
Evolve technical specifications. Write specifications, defend bounded claims in security and architecture reviews, drive open-decision resolution, and turn working-draft contracts into engineering artifacts that Product Security, Fleet, Identity, and partner runtimes can adopt.
What We Need To See:
Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) with 15+ years of industry experience in systems software, security engineering, distributed systems, or policy infrastructure.
Technical Core: Strong programming skills in Rust, Go, C++, or Python; experience designing production services, APIs, schemas, policy engines, authorization systems, or signed artifact pipelines.
Infrastructure Familiarity: Linux systems, IPC or service-to-service APIs, protobuf/gRPC or equivalent wire formats, CI, test automation, release engineering, and cloud or enterprise deployment environments.
Architecture Leadership: Ability to write streamlined technical specifications, align multiple engineering owners, defend bounded claims, and turn working-draft architecture into buildable interfaces without over-scoping the runtime.
Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:
Runtime Policy Systems: Experience with OPA/Rego, Cedar, Zanzibar-style authorization, policy compilers, sandbox policy, or runtime enforcement systems.
Agent Runtime Security: Familiarity with agent frameworks, tool-call governance, sandboxed execution, OpenShell-like runtime substrates, MCP-style tool routing, or credential isolation for agents.
Supply Chain and Signing: Experience with Sigstore, TUF, in-toto, HSM-backed signing, package provenance, signed configuration, or enterprise trust-root distribution.
Formal or Adversarial Verification: Experience using property testing, model checking, symbolic execution, red-team findings, or bounded verification to constrain security claims.
Standards engagement: Experience contributing to RFCs in identity, supply-chain, or policy spaces (IETF, OpenID Foundation, FIDO Alliance, CNCF, NIST).
