contents We use the angular cross-correlation between a luminous red galaxy (LRG) sample from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Legacy Survey data release DR9 and the $Planck$ cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing maps to constrain the local primordial non-Gaussianity parameter, $f_{\rm NL}$, using the scale-dependent galaxy bias effect. The galaxy sample covers approximately 40\% of the sky, contains galaxies up to redshift $z \sim 1.4$, and is calibrated with the LRG spectra that have been observed for DESI Year 1 (Y1). We apply a nonlinear imaging systematics treatment based on neural networks to remove observational effects that could potentially bias the $f_{\rm NL}$ measurement. Our measurement is performed without blinding, but the full analysis pipeline is tested with simulations including systematics. Using the two-point angular cross-correlation between LRG and CMB lensing only ($C_\ell^{κG}$) we find $f_{\rm NL} = 39_{-38}^{+40}$ at 68% confidence level, and our result is robust in terms of systematics and cosmology assumptions. If we combine this information with the autocorrelation of LRG ($C_\ell^{GG}$) applying a $\ell_{\rm min}$ scale cut to limit the impact of systematics, we find $f_{\rm NL} = 24_{-21}^{+20}$ at 68% confidence level. Our results motivate the use of CMB lensing cross-correlations for measuring $f_{\rm NL}$ with future datasets given its stability in terms of observational systematics compared to the angular auto-correlation. Furthermore, performing accurate systematics mitigation is crucially important in order to achieve competitive constraints on $f_{\rm NL}$ from CMB lensing cross-correlation in combination with the tracers' autocorrelation.
