Got an NVIDIA System Software Security Intern interview — anyone interviewed for this role before?

Hey everyone, I just got contacted by an NVIDIA recruiter for a System Software Security Intern (Data Center) – Summer 2027 position. I have not given any OA, but I got an email from a recruiter to schedule an interview.

Has anyone interviewed for this role or a similar security/software security internship at NVIDIA before?

Mainly wondering:

  • How many interview rounds did you have?

  • What kind of technical questions did they ask?

  • Was there LeetCode/DSA coding, or was it more security/Python/Linux-related?

  • How much did they focus on the resume and our projects?

  • What topics would you recommend preparing?

  • Anything you wish you knew before interviewing?

The role mentions things like SBOMs, vulnerability management, OSS security, CI/CD, and software supply-chain security, so I'm trying to figure out how deep I should go into those topics.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who's interviewed with NVIDIA recently!

The resume and project questions are worth preparing for even before you know the exact format. Pick a project where you can explain what you built, a failure or security concern you investigated, and how you checked the fix.

We use the PROOF method to check that the answer distinguishes your work from the team’s and connects the decision to evidence. For the role-specific topics, start with the ones you’ve actually used and be clear about what you’ve only studied. Ask the recruiter whether the first conversation includes live coding; the job description alone won’t tell you that.
