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.
NVIDIA Enterprise Network Architecture team is seeking experienced candidates in the extensive domain of network security. Great foundations generating documentation for architectural planning, roadmaps, designs, evaluations, test plans, along with a passion for configuration standards will set you apart. Outstanding problem-solving abilities and a comprehensive understanding of network security protocols & standards, routing, switching, automation, and a deep understanding of fundamental network theory is also critical to your success at NVIDIA. This is a broad network security architecture role spanning traditional network security design, identity-driven access control, enablement of security products at scale, and emerging problem spaces like agentic AI workload isolation — with a strong emphasis on driving adoption, not just designing on paper.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Build and implement network protection frameworks, including firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, VPNs and other security technologies.
- Partner with Enterprise Security — working across IAM, network access control (NAC/802.1X), and Zero Trust identity/posture-based policy so that network access decisions are increasingly driven by who/what is connecting and its security posture, not just IP/VLAN placement.
- Partner with Product Security (ProdSec) to enable NVIDIA's own security products and tooling for internal customers at scale — taking platforms validated in staging/pilot and driving them into org-wide production use (e.g., artifact/supply-chain scanning gates, access-control gateways, endpoint/network detection tooling), removing the friction that keeps good tooling stuck at "validated but not embraced."
- Design network-level isolation for autonomous/agentic AI workloads ("autorun") and multi-tenant environments running disparate, co-located workloads at different trust levels — defining trust-domain boundaries, segmentation models, and long-term end-state architecture (e.g., firewall-based "chambers" today, migrating toward DPU-based zero-trust micro-segmentation as that capability matures) so that a compromised or malicious workload cannot reach other tenants or the broader corporate network.
- Lead efforts to move NVIDIA's internal office and lab networks from a largely flat, implicitly-trusted model toward explicit east-west segmentation — internal/collapsed firewalls at key boundary points, a service-catalog-based access model, and a foundation for dynamic Zero Trust controls (posture, identity, application awareness) — without breaking existing lab/office workflows.
- Research, evaluate, and recommend security solutions, products, and technologies that can enhance the network's security posture.
- Partner and conduct security audits and penetration tests to assess the network's security and identify vulnerabilities.
- Create and maintain documentation, including security policies, procedures, network diagrams, and multi-functional feasibility reviews that define clear ownership boundaries between network, identity, platform, and application-security teams.
- Deliver guidelines, validated design standards, and direction on security standards/policies/roadmaps like Zero Trust to ensure consistent security practices across the organization. Provide domain expertise, consultation, and critical issue support.
What we need to see:
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or equivalent experience.
- 12+ years of experience in building, managing and supporting large scale hybrid networks on the foundations of security.
- Experience developing automation technology with Python, Ruby, Go or other languages used in infrastructure automation.
- Advanced knowledge of NIST CSF, CIS controls, or MITRE ATT&CK frameworks.
- Strong knowledge of networking protocols and encryption services and how these serve elevated security posture for a network.
- Experience evaluating and testing new vendor platforms and in-house network initiatives for security issues.
- Knowledge of cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, and their respective security practices and services.
- Experience working cross-functionally with identity/IAM and product security teams to turn security capabilities into org-wide standards, not just point solutions.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity on emerging problem spaces — including securing AI agent platforms where standards and precedent are still being written.
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:
- Experience with ML/AI as it relates to security analysis, vulnerability assessment and detection, threat modeling, malware detection, binary analysis, network analytics or other security-related research.
- Experience working with heterogeneous security platforms and building them as code.
- Experience driving org-wide adoption of a security standard or gate (e.g., getting a scanning/enforcement tool out of staging and into default production use across many teams).
- Direct experience securing agentic AI / autonomous coding-agent infrastructure — sandboxing, egress control, and trust-domain isolation for workloads that complete AI-generated code with minimal human oversight.
- Experience crafting segmentation for large-scale flat corporate and campus networks using internal firewalls, VLANs/VRFs, and NAC. You have a track record of gaining multi-functional sign-off and making the handoff operational, not just crafting it.
NVIDIA is leading the way in groundbreaking developments in Artificial Intelligence, High-Performance Computing and Visualization. The GPU, our invention, serves as the visual cortex of modern computers and is at the heart of our products and services. Our work opens up new universes to explore, enables outstanding creativity and discovery, and powers what were once science fiction inventions from artificial intelligence to autonomous cars. NVIDIA is looking for exceptional people like you to help us accelerate the next wave of artificial intelligence.
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 196,000 USD - 310,500 USD for Level 5, and 240,000 USD - 379,500 USD for Level 6. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until September 13, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Network Architect
Translate your CCNP or CCIE credentials
U.S. employers assess credentials against DOL specialty occupation standards. Document how your Cisco certifications and Australian qualifications map to a bachelor's-equivalent requirement before your first interview so sponsorship conversations don't stall later.
Raise E-3 timing early in negotiations
The E-3 requires a certified LCA before you can schedule your consulate appointment. Tell your hiring manager at the offer stage, not after signing, so the DOL's seven-business-day LCA certification window doesn't create a start-date conflict.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the paperwork
Network Architect LCAs require the employer to certify your prevailing wage level and job duties. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork so neither you nor your new employer misses a compliance step before your consulate appointment.
Clarify third-party site placements with your employer
Network Architects frequently work on client infrastructure at off-site locations. USCIS scrutinizes specialty occupation claims for roles with multiple worksites, so confirm your employer's legal address and intended worksite details before the LCA is submitted.
Prepare a degree equivalency letter if needed
If your Australian qualification is a three-year bachelor's degree, consulate officers may request a credential evaluation confirming U.S. equivalency. Obtain a credential evaluation report from a NACES-member evaluator before your visa interview to avoid administrative delays.
E-3 Visa Network Architect: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Network Architect jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles with E-3 sponsorship. You can filter by job title and see Network Architect positions from employers who have a documented history of sponsoring work visas. Searching through a general job board means manually vetting each employer's sponsorship willingness, which wastes time at the offer stage.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Network Architect role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes. Network Architect roles fall under SOC code 15-1241 and consistently meet the DOL's specialty occupation definition because a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or network engineering is a standard industry requirement. The key risk is a job description written broadly enough that the employer could argue any IT background qualifies, which can undermine your LCA. Make sure the job offer specifies a degree field, not just a degree level.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Network Architect positions?
The E-3 is significantly more practical for Australians pursuing Network Architect roles. There is no lottery, no annual cap constraint that creates multi-year waits, and no employer registration fees tied to a random selection process. The H-1B has an 85,000-slot annual cap with a selection rate well below 50% in recent years. The E-3 allows you to apply once you have a job offer and a certified LCA, with a typical consulate appointment timeline of two to six weeks depending on the location.
Can I transfer my E-3 to a new employer if I change Network Architect roles?
Yes, but the process starts fresh with each employer. Your new employer must file a new LCA certified by the DOL, and you will need to attend a new consulate appointment in Australia or apply for a change of status if you are already in the U.S. You can begin working for the new employer after your new E-3 is approved, not before, so plan your transition timeline around the LCA certification and appointment window.
