Cybersecurity Manager - India

Overview

• NVIDIA is seeking a Cybersecurity Manager to join our Cyber Defense & Response (CDR) team.
• You will lead security operations and incident response initiatives across the organization.
• This role is ideal for a security leader who confidently addresses critical security incidents and swiftly makes containment decisions.
• It includes supporting the team's health, operational processes, and cross-function collaborations that foster a strong, high-performing security function.
• Serving as a manager on the Cyber Defense & Response team, you will guide the complete incident response lifecycle.
• You will ensure operational preparedness is maintained to support it.
• You will convert NVIDIA’s engineering-first, technology-focused, data-informed defense strategy into practical plans.
• You will partner closely with skilled incident responders, security engineers, threat intelligence specialists, and product, platform, and engineering teams to safeguard NVIDIA’s corporate, cloud, and product environments.
• What you'll be doing: Lead day-to-day Cyber Defense & Response (CDR) functions, ensuring operational readiness, execution rigor, and alignment with NVIDIA’s cybersecurity strategy.
• Responsible for the incident response lifecycle from start to finish.
• Act as the point person for critical incidents and lead efforts to investigate, contain, recover, and review the incident afterward.
• Increase detection and response efficiency by continuously broadening coverage across on-premises and multi-cloud environments, targeting GPU-accelerated and AI/ML workloads.
• Set detection expectations and standards aligned to NVIDIA’s threat landscape, defining monitoring requirements, coverage goals, and compliance requirements.
• Own operational performance and outcomes, including MTTD, MTTC, MTTR, detection coverage, alert quality, and false-positive reduction—focused on root-cause improvement.
• Run CDR improvements following agile methods, keeping a risk-prioritized backlog and guiding delivery via planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Drive agentic transformation of manual SOC work — identify repetitive analyst tasks and convert them into automated, event-based AI pipelines.
• Partner with Security Engineering to operationalize tooling, automation, playbooks, and post-incident improvements that measurably improve response efficiency.
• What we need to see: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ overall years of experience in cybersecurity, including 3+ years managing people within a SOC or incident response function.
• Strong technical depth to step into an active incident independently — reading SIEM queries, evaluating automation workflows, investigating alerts, and assessing case quality with deep expertise in SOC-relevant domains (digital forensics & incident response, cloud security, detection engineering, log analysis, malware analysis, or security automation).
• Strong knowledge of cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP, and other CSPs), identity and access management, endpoint protection, and securing containerized or GPU-based AI/ML workloads.
• Demonstrated experience owning operational metrics and driving measurable improvements.
• Experience building or improving incident response processes, playbooks, and critical issue workflows.
• Proven ability to lead global, 24x7 teams across distributed shift structures using agile practices, with ownership of backlog prioritization and sprint metrics.
• Ability to convey complex security concepts clearly to engineers, executives, and legal and compliance partners.
• Ways to stand out from the crowd: Calm, decisive leadership during high-severity incidents — leading teams, making containment calls under pressure, and presenting clearly across technical and executive stakeholders.
• Track record deploying security automation, orchestration, analytics, and AI agentic SOC workflows that measurably reduce manual workload, false positives, analyst toil, and response times.
• Experience developing detections and response playbooks for AI/ML systems, coordinating with product or supply ‑ chain security teams, and integrating or migrating SIEM/EDR across hybrid multi ‑ cloud environments, including CSP log sources, MDR partners, and co ‑ managed detection and response models.
• Relevant certifications such as GCIH, GCFA, GCFR, CISSP, or AWS/Azure/Google Security.
• Recognized builder of team culture — cultivating psychological safety, fostering continuous learning, and celebrating wins while holding standards high.
• NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers.
• We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us.
• If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!.
