Job description

As an AI Engineer on the AI Safety Engineering team at NVIDIA, you will play a crucial role in developing and scaling methods to secure advanced AI systems. Your work will focus on architecting safety infrastructure and operationalizing automated workflows in collaboration with research and model development teams. This position is ideal for a problem solver who thrives in ambiguity and is eager to tackle complex technical challenges. You will contribute to innovative safety concepts and transform them into scalable implementations.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Software Engineering, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in ML engineering or software engineering.
  • Proven experience building complex, automated workflows using LLMs.
  • Strong proficiency in programming languages such as Rust or Python.
  • Experience with machine learning frameworks like PyTorch.
  • Demonstrated ability to tackle open-ended, ambiguous problems.
  • Ability to own a project from initial concept to final deployment.

Responsibilities

  • Compose, build, and deploy foundational agentic automation loops for safety evaluations and model testing.
  • Train and implement specialized systems for identifying harmful content and coordinating content quality.
  • Build and guide automated research frameworks using LLMs and autonomous agents.
  • Engineer proof-of-concept safety interventions into robust, scalable solutions.
  • Collaborate with researchers, platform engineers, and data scientists to bridge theoretical AI safety research with practical systems.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
