Security Operations Manager - China

Join NVIDIA’s Security Team as Manager of our China Security Operations Center (SOC), safeguarding the discoveries that power AI, accelerated computing, autonomous machines, and gaming worldwide. Based in mainland China, you will lead analysts who detect, investigate, and contain threats. Your blend of technical depth and empathetic leadership will keep local operations fully aligned with PIPL and other relevant Chinese cybersecurity regulations while sharing intelligence with NVIDIA’s global defenses wherever lawful. Harnessing short Scrum cycles, you’ll drive rapid improvements—from tuning detections to automating playbooks—so every sprint delivers measurable risk reduction. If decisive action, analytical grit, and cross‑functional collaboration excite you, we invite you to craft the future of security at NVIDIA. Resilience emerges where clarity, speed, and trust converge! Ready to convert expertise into agile defenses that keep NVIDIA’s innovations safe?

You lead with confident vitality, turning sophisticated threats into clear, time‑boxed objectives and empowering your team to act. Anchored in Agile values, you favor individuals and interactions, working solutions, and fast feedback—ensuring each sprint delivers customer value without sacrificing real‑time response. Data grounds your decisions, passion energizes partners, and steady support nurtures growth even as you set the standard.

What you’ll be doing:

• Guide, mentor, and develop SOC analysts in China, encouraging a high‑performance, inclusive culture.

• Architect and continuously improve monitoring, detection, and response across on‑prem, hybrid, and multi‑cloud environments and protect GPU‑accelerated AI/ML pipelines.

• Run the team in Scrum: facilitate planning, stand‑ups, reviews, and retrospectives; maintain a transparent backlog ordered by risk reduction and customer value.

• Embed PIPL and other relevant Chinese cybersecurity regulations into day‑to‑day SOC processes, partnering with Legal and Compliance teams while supporting global collaboration where permissible.

• Define, track, and act on metrics (MTTD, MTTR, sprint velocity) and operate staffing/on‑call schedules that balance 24 × 7 coverage with follow‑the‑sun hand‑offs.

• Evaluate and integrate China‑compliant security tooling and automation, sharing threat intelligence and capabilities with the wider NVIDIA SOC as regulations allow.
 

What we need to see:

• Bachelor’s or higher degree (or equivalent experience), or a related field.

• 8+ overall years in cybersecurity, including 3 + years managing people and budgets within a SOC or incident‑response function.

• Deep technical expertise in at least one SOC‑relevant area—cloud security engineering, log analytics, detection engineering, malware analysis, or security automation.

• Hands‑on experience defending workloads in mainland‑China cloud platforms and securing Kubernetes, containers, or GPU‑based AI workloads.

• Proven success leading teams with Agile/Scrum practices, owning backlog prioritization and sprint metrics in an operational setting.

• Proficiency in Mandarin and English, with outstanding ability to convey sophisticated security concepts to engineers, executives, and Legal & Compliance partners.

• Expert knowledge of cybersecurity regulations within Chinese, with practical experience embedding these mandates into SOC operations and breach‑notification workflows.
 

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Calm, decisive leadership during high‑severity incidents—directing teams and containing threats under pressure.

• Track record of deploying security automation, orchestration, or analytics that measurably reduce false positives or response times.

• Experience crafting detections and response playbooks for AI/ML pipelines—protecting training data, models, and inference endpoints.

• Success integrating or migrating SIEM/EDR stacks in hybrid multi‑cloud environments within China, including native CSP log APIs.

• Recognized builder of team culture—cultivating psychological safety, championing continuous learning, and celebrating wins while holding standards high.
